Craig Keener calls it "the New Testament introduction of all New Testament introductions! Not only is this a superb New Testament introduction from the keyboards of two of today's most prolific and balanced New Testament scholars, but more advanced students will find here an accessible and mature synthesis of and primer for N. T. Wright's voluminous work."
Craig Blomberg calls it "one of a kind."
Esau MccAulley (Wheaton College) says, "Wright and Bird have done a great service to the church and the academy with this volume."
The accolades are many.
What do I think?

- Brilliant in its conception.
- Exemplifies the necessity of contextual New Testament studies.
- A seminary education in my hands.
