6.2. Book Projects
Bible Compendium in Cross-Cultural Perspective, with Donald Schweitzer e.a.: provides an
ongoing exegesis of biblical books with interdisciplinary and cross-cultural focus; main
authors will be asked to invite others from diverse cultural and ethnical backgrounds to
1
See the following book reviews: by JOHN DUNNILL, in: Review of Biblical Literature 07/2012 (“high quality
of the individual essays”; “a persuasive and valuable contribution to the field”); by GREG CAREY, in: Review of
Biblical Literature 07/2012 (“Scholars who specialize in sacrifice will find this volume an excellent source with
which to engage the most recent work on the topic, including the research of emerging scholars. Uniformly well
written, these essays will also interest nonspecialists who desire a sense of sacrificial language in both ancient
Judaism and early Christianity”).
2
See, for example, the book review by JAMES F. MCGRATH, in: Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and
Theology 67/1 (2013), p. 91 (“… This book provides a wonderful overview of biblical data relevant to Christian
soteriology. It will serve the needs of NT and HB scholars, Christian theologians, and pastors and church groups
interested in serious discussion, providing both a broad survey of key information as well as a distinctive and
persuasive perspective that many will find extremely valuable”).
3
See the following book reviews: by CHRISTOPHER T. BEGG in: Old Testament Abstracts 26 (2003), p. 175
(Number 720); by HENNING GRAF REVENTLOW in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 128/6 (2003), pp. 591-593
(“…exemplary work…”, “…a reference book in its field…”, “…an important contribution to the discussion,…”);
by JEAN MARCEL VINCENT in: Etudes Théologiques et Religieuses 2004/1, pp.93-94 (“…impressive because
of its length and especially because of the quality of its exegetical analyses and the refinement of its theological
evaluations”); by HANNA LISS in: Trumah: Zeitschrift der Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg 14
(2004), pp. 199-201 (“The large merit of this study consists in its double revision of the prevailing interpretation
of sacrifice”); by WINFRIED THIEL in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 100/1 (2005), col.s 72-75 (“This study
is impressive. The author surveys the large quantity of material in a competent fashion and interprets it with
sovereignty and exegetical expertise”); by CORINNA KÖRTING in: Theologische Rundschau 71 (2006), pp. 37980.
