Biblical scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates can all find material with which to work in this Handbook. * Biblical Theology Bulletin *\u003cbr\u003eThe editors are to be congratulated on bringing together in one volume such a fine collection of essays of uniformly high quality and all of which offer significant insights for the interpretation of the texts with which they deal. […] The 68 page bibliography is in itself an invaluable asset for scholars researching the area. -- W.S. Campbell, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK * Journal of Beliefs and Values *\u003cbr\u003eThis voluminous collection of 29 essays makes a valuable contribution to studies that take the increasingly popular social-scientific approach to New Testament interpretation. While several handbooks on this interpretive approach are available, this is the only collection entirely devoted to the study of social identity in the New Testament ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers\/faculty. -- J. R. Asher, Georgetown College * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eEvery theological library should have this book. -- Wendell Willis, Abilene Christian University, USA * The Catholic Biblical Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eThis massive and valuable resource (657 pages), containing essays by an international cast of scholars, focuses on the ‘social identity’ approach to biblical interpretation. This approach considers how biblical texts both express and foster a group’s particular social identity, i.e., the characteristic beliefs, values, and practices that distinguish them from other groups … first inspired by biblical scholar Philip Esler, whose foundational essay on the subject is included at the beginning of the volume. * Bible Today *\u003cbr\u003eThis highly recommended Handbook offers an introduction to many social scientific theoretical approaches to the New Testament, a relatively new and promising methodological application based upon a relatively new and growing field of observation. Throughout, the Handbook combines methodological explanations with textual examples to offer an accessible introduction to the field for student and scholar alike. * Mark D. Nanos, University of Kansas, USA *\u003cbr\u003eBaker and Tucker have put together a rich collection of essays exploring  the meaning and relevance of social identity theory for New Testament  studies.  All of the essays, which cover nearly every book of the New  Testament, brim with helpful insights about the way early Christian  authors sought to shape the identities and actions of their audiences.   The book deserves to be read and used widely by scholars and advanced  students alike. * Christopher Stanley, St. Bonaventure University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe application of identity theory to biblical studies is no passing  fad, for identity lies at the heart of what the Bible is about. Anyone  interested in identity and the Bible will find that this handbook  presents both explanations of method in applying identity theory to  Scripture and textual studies dealing with most of the New Testament  documents. The authors of these helpful essays are some of the most  important people currently writing on identity. The editors are to be  congratulated for making such a fine handbook available. * Klyne R.
