"Few persons have taught us [how] to read Scripture as well as
Donald Juel. His passion for the text is everywhere apparent as he
teaches us to risk seeing the text differently. No one has brought
that narrative to life better than this faithful servant. These
essays and sermons are an enduring legacy of great value."
--Patrick D. Miller, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament
Theology Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
"An inspiring read for those whose passion, like Juel's, is for God
and for the Bible as God's living, unsettling address." --Janet
Soskice, Professor of Philosophical Theology and Fellow of Jesus
College, University of Cambridge
"This collection shows Juel at his very best. Here you will find a
humble and very much real Christian." --Alan F. Segal (1945-2011)
was Professor of Religion and Ingeborg Rennert Professor of Jewish
Studies, Barnard College
"Across the years of his much too short career, Juel demonstrated
that reading scripture in Christian communities is an endlessly
intriguing, bewildering, and nurturing journey. This book will
refresh the minds of those who studied alongside him and invite a
new generation of interpreters to pack their bags and travel along
with him." --Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Helen H.P. Manson Professor
of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, Princeton Theological
Seminary
This book is a fitting tribute to a master scholar and teacher, but
more importantly, it is a fitting reminder for all of us who read
the Bible. What Juel encourages, and what clearly comes through in
this collection, is the need for Christians to read Scripture
together faithfully, intelligently, and imaginatively. -- Mark
Vitalis Hoffman, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg --
Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology (68:2)
Juel's work went beyond the historical, linguistic, and literary
scholarship that is foundational to the academic training that
biblical scholars receive. -- Ernest van Eck, University of
Pretoria -- Review of Biblical Literature
... filled with literary and hermeneutical jewels form the first
chapter to the sermons.... Juel's advice to the Bible reader who
does not know the biblical languages is priceless.... The
spirituality of the author permeates almost every page. -- James
Henry Harris -- Homiletic
