Guides for thePerplexed series is a helpful summary of what can be gathered from theoften scattered remarks in the ancient sources. One of the strengths of thebook is that it quotes most of the relevant sources at length. The authorrightly emphasizes that the ancient data are often open to various interpretations.His own reconstruction of the origin of the Bible is well argued, clear andreadable; yet the author honestly warns the reader that there remain openquestions, and there are areas in this history where other reconstructions maystill be possible.' — Péter Balla, Head of the New Testament Department at the Faculty of Theology, KároliGáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary.
