Abstract

These eleven papers from a conference sponsored by Tyndale Seminary, Toronto, in 2002, select six interpreters who would be on anyone's list (Ambrosiaster, Chrysostom, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Barth), three who deserve to be there (Aquinas, Tyndale, Wesley), two interesting surprises (Hodge, Colenso), and at least one surprising omission: Origen. The writers, who all teach (or in the case of John Webster, taught) in North America, are all church historians, historical or systematic theologians, not exegetes, which perhaps explains the exclusion of modern biblical scholarship, if not the evangelical slant. All the contributions are worth reading but the space available to each was insufficient to draw out the value of reception history for contemporary theology, or to yield refreshing new insights on St Paul.
