That's a familiar question, often asked. But as an Old Testament scholar, John Goldingay turns that question on its head: Do we need the New Testament? In this cheerfully provocative yet probingly serious book, John Goldingay views the question from a variety of angles. Under his skilled hand, each facet unfolds the surprising richness of the Old Testament and challenges us to recalibrate our perspective on it." -- ER -
