It is a well thought out book that leads one to meditate on the themes raised with its juxtaposition of chapters and prayers. The feel of it is different from other books for that reason. I'd encourage people to read it because it introduces crucially important themes tied to God's reconciling work and key ideas associated with those themes. The door, covenant, the world, the reconciler and the church are core biblical themes the text considers. The notes at the end of each unit cite resources with fullness to help the reader see what is behind the main text. The book claims to be devotional theology. I think that is a very apt description. It contains theology that leads you to contemplate God and his work afresh. That is a worthy goal for any book to reach. And this book reaches that goal well. Darrel Bock - research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, What a beautiful book The style is creative and perfectly suits busy readers who quickly wants get to the core of an issue. The book is theologically well-grounded. It binds the messages of the Old and New Testament together and develops the theme of the covenant wonderfully well. It refers to the best contemporary sources and its exegesis is excellent Prof. H.J.C.Pieterse, Department Practical Theology, University of South Africa "I liked the format of reflections and prayer -- which itself communicates something essential about our doing theology. Nearly everywhere I was in agreement with the book." Mark Seifrid - Mildred and Ernest Hogan Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
