Editorial Reviews

"This collection of stimulating essays is a well-deserved tribute to Duane Garrett's contribution to the study of the Old Testament. As a sampling of current evangelical scholarship, it exposes the reader to a broad range of topics, covering much of the OT and drawing on different methodologies. The entire volume is a helpful reminder of the importance of engaging with the whole of Scripture as the Word of God. Read, learn and enjoy."
--T. Desmond Alexander, senior lecturer in biblical studies, Union Theological College, Belfast "Duane Garrett is one of the finest evangelical biblical scholars of our generation and it is only fitting that he and his work should be honored in such a wonderful way by his students, friends, peers, and colleagues. Almost every chapter begins with an apt tribute, recognizing Garrett as an encouraging mentor, caring colleague, exemplary scholar, and faithful churchman, as well as a godly and humble person. The editors are to be commended for bringing together such an impressive group of contributors to address a wide array of Old Testament interpretive themes, issues, and challenges. The Law, the Prophets, and the Writings will serve not only as a most appropriate way to honor Professor Garrett, but as a splendid biblical, theological, and hermeneutical resource for scholars, students, and pastors for years to come. It is a genuine joy to recommend this outstanding work!"
--David S. Dockery, president, International Alliance for Christian Education, and distinguished professor of theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary "The editors have gathered an impressive team of scholars for this Festschrift honoring Professor Duane Garrett. The chapters display meticulous scholarship and clear argument, enriched by wisdom, dedication, and experience. A significant contribution to the field."
--Jill Firth, lecturer in Hebrew and Old Testament, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia "Though the questions at the heart of Old Testament hermeneutics are not new, the articles in this collection approach them with fresh eyes. Each contribution furthers new analysis on how to understand Scripture while also interacting with prior scholarship. The contents of these pages not only nourish the academic mind in relation to Scripture, but they also help strengthen one's love of Scripture as they affirm the God of the Scriptures while not shying away from the difficult questions."
--JoAnna M. Hoyt, associate professor of applied linguistics, Dallas International University "This volume not only gives honor to whom honor is due (Duane A. Garrett), but it also gives honor to God's Word. In light of the loss in the church ('the inability to speak OT'), this work represents a gain. The introduction alone is worth its weight in gold. Key OT topics that are continually under fire are addressed, not skirted, modeling sound hermeneutical principles."
--Donna Petter, associate professor of Old Testament and director, Hebrew Language Program, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "A who's who of the best Old Testament scholars have collaborated to produce this impressive collection of seventeen important essays on a wide range of consequential topics in Old Testament study. The reader gets a high-level exposure to issues that are important for understanding biblical books from Genesis to Malachi. It's a book that will never go out of date."
--Douglas Stuart, senior professor of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "This volume fittingly honors the work of Dr. Duane Garrett, who has impacted so many students. From younger and more experienced scholars, one finds much learning and insight here; all readers will find benefit."
--Heath A. Thomas, president and professor of Old Testament, Oklahoma Baptist University "This book is a fitting tribute to an amazing Old Testament scholar who has written in most of these areas for approximately thirty years. Not only does each paper deal with a significant area of hermeneutics, but each author provides a description of their relationship with Dr. Garrett, that pictures him as a godly, compassionate scholar--something that most of us aspire to, but Dr. Garrett embodies. It is often difficult to pull together a group of papers from various scholars, even if they are all on the same topic, but the introduction by William Osborne provides an excellent outline indicating how each paper fits into the overall structure of the book to provide a significant overview of the field of hermeneutics. I highly recommend this book for those wishing to dig more deeply into how to interpret the Scriptures."
--Paul D. Wegner, distinguished professor of Old Testament studies, Gateway Seminary
