Report
"This book is generally well written and well researched. Each essay takes its task seriously, looking at a wide array of scholarship in order to come to and informed conclusions ... If you are working on the Pauline canon with respect to contents, the way it was collected, or the problems of interpolation, this is a book that you must have." - Ron Fay, in: Journal of Biblical Literature
"Es bleibt der Eindruck einer Zusamenstellung hoch interessanter, anregender und z.T. provozierender Beiträge zu wichtigen Fragen des Corpus Paulinum auf durchweg hohem wissenschaftlichen Niveau. Mit Sicherheit wird durch dieses Buch die wissenschaftliche Diskussion um zentrale Probleme der Entstehung wie auch der Interpretation des "paulinischen Kanons"entscheidende Impulse erhalten. Der weiteren Entwicklung der jungen Reihe "Pauline Studies" kann mit Spannung entgegengesehen wered." - Tobias Nicklas, in: Novum Testamentum (2005)
"All ... worthy contributions to the topics they touch upon, and research libraries will wish to add the volume to their holdings." - Michael W. Holmes, in: Religious Studies Review (2005)
"...stimulating and well produced volume..." - Christoph Stenschke, in: Filología Neotestamentaria Journal (2010)
