They raise and reflect on deep questions on the possibility and validity of such comparative exercise, on the methods that are most effective and intellectually defensible, on the purpose of such comparison, and on the perils and pitfalls in such exercises.  Addressing these questions at both a theoretical, hermeneutical level, and through case-studies of actual examples, the book provides a much needed and up-to-date methodological resource for the numerous comparative projects spawned by New Testament studies throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInvaluable to scholars, students, and teachers alike who are interested in comparative religion, methodology in ancient history, and the philosophical (and existential) commitments at play in any modern scholarly endeavor. * Religious Studies Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eTranslations \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/b\u003e  Chapter 1:  Introduction - \u003ci\u003eJohn M.G.
