Trade Review"The whole volume, however, forms a treasury of information – and of judicious and stimulating judgements. The editors deserve warm thanks for their focus on a life and work which have suffered the iniquity of oblivion, but have also had longterm influence." - William Horbury, University of Cambridge, Journal of Ecclesiastical History 71: 2, 2020. "Overall, this volume is valuable as an example of the intellectual history of the discipline and consequences of past research on our current questions. The book does not make a hero out of Deissmann in an effort to resuscitate the positive aspects of his work; the treatment here is balanced, well researched and thoughtful. (...) [A] significant reminder that in order to advance critical biblical scholarship, we must also know the contours of the discipline that have led us to ask the critical questions that now engage us." - Garrick V. Allen, Dublin City University, Journal for the Study of the New Testament 42:5, 2020.
