The subunits of this book serve the whole much in the same way the subunits they discuss serve the biblical canon. The novice reader is effectively introduced to the landscape of canonical studies through the intentionality of the book’s editors, while the experienced researcher is introduced to new ideas and constructive suggestions for further study. Glenny and Lockett, along with each contributor, have provided a resource for all levels of study that can and should be used in canon research moving forward.
