engage much more thoroughly with biblical scholarship. Instead, he appears to summarize surface contours of the text without really probing: for example, while he notes in passing the extensive debate about layers of redacted tradition in the Hebrew Bible, he does not engage with this; nor does he pause to consider the possible impact of the Deuteronomistic tradition on his reading of the overall narrative. Similarly, huge questions around source and redaction criticism in the New Testament (particularly in relation to Luke-Acts) are simply ignored, to say nothing about his reading of the historical Jesus. Nor is Paul’s distinctive and striking use of ‘sin’ as a hostile power considered seriously. In the final section on emerging church traditions, various conflicting streams of thought are briefly reviewed, but the focus on Augustine and later Calvin weigh the argument heavily in favour of a distinctivelyWestern emphasis on guilt and repentance. Incidentally, the description of the emerging modern and postmodern fixation on individual guilt would have been significantly strengthened with an engagement with Foucault and others. This book felt a bit like a throwback to Kittel and earlier generations of New Testament scholarship. This approach has its place, but really does need to be much more thoroughly grounded in theological analysis.
