review: Editorial Reviews Review “This is a collection of first-rate essays that celebrate Michael Gorman’s work by pursuing his own central concerns in fresh directions. Like his own work, they exemplify attentive exegesis that overflows into the theology and the life of the contemporary church.” — Richard Bauckham University of Cambridge “It is a sign of truly important scholarship that it not only receives recognition but also inspires other scholars to continue to press its insights. Michael Gorman has been one of the key providers of truly important scholarship in our generation as he has tirelessly promoted the significance of participation to any deep understanding of what the New Testament is trying to say. The debt we owe Gorman is attested not just by the fine assembly of scholars in this volume who honor his life and work but also by the way their scholarly contributions here engage directly with his interpretations and continue his work, deepening and widening its insights still further.” — Douglas A. Campbell Duke Divinity School “Michael Gorman’s participationist model has made peace with the other approaches to Pauline scholarship. Where some have said ‘I am of Luther, I am of Calvin, I am of Wesley, or I am of Sanders or Dunn or Wright or Campbell,’ Gorman took their best insights to find a more expansive place for exploring Paul. Each of these friends and students of Gorman expresses that peacemaking approach of Gorman, as his participationist model of redemption is explored in other facets of the New Testament. This will be a blessing for all of us.” — Scot McKnight Northern Seminary About the Author Andy Johnson is professor of New Testament at NazareneTheological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri.
