"For those who want a lucid, challenging and deeply thoughtful presentation of theology at its best, this is the book. Vanhoozer is a must-read for all who are searching for meaning in the current theological landscape."
"Operating under the premise of 'first theology' that our doctrine of God cannot be divorced from our understanding of Scripture, Kevin Vanhoozer brings together what modernism and postmodernism (not to mention some evangelicals) have rent asunder: imagination and historical-textual criticism, God's communicative performance and our missional response, the Bible that is God's Word and the Bible that becomes God's Word. He does this while graciously interacting with a wide range of theologians, philosophers and communication theorists. As a result, Kevin rescues the Bible from reductionist approaches that diminish the mighty and saving speech-act of the living, loving Lord."
