Recenzii
"Careful readers must be especially attentive to the possibilities the biblical texts mean otherwise than what they say." Mark Minster, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology"[Sharp] negotiates between a modernist and post-modernist understanding of the biblical text, taking authorial intent seriously while attending to textual self-subversion." Steven Weitzman, Indiana University
