Editorial Review

Holmberg's professional training in sociology has well equipped him for this excellent summary and evaluation of research in the field.  Students will find this a fine introduction to a new field of study.  Scholars who do not specialize in this area will find it invaluable, and those who do will find here new insights and wel-considered judgments.  There are fields of New Testament endeavor more in need of such a concise, thorough, and critical review of research from ne well-versed in its methods and already accomplished as a practitioner.

This study presents an informed discussion and evaluation of twenty years of recent research on the New Testament from a social scientific perspective.  Here basic theoris, methods, and models of the discipline, its chief proponents, and its important contributions are assessed by one of its own practitioners.
