"The breadth of the author's reading and the logic of his argument are impressive. Meticulous attention to New Testament passages and attention to function, as this book exemplifies, seem a far more reasonable approach than beginning with the 'results' of research on the New Testament environment. Hare lays out the logic of his approach with clarity, and his facility for exposing the flawed reasoning of others is equally impressive. This book provides an example of how exegetical arguments can be carried on."
