"Few persons have taught us [how] to read Scripture as well as Donald Juel. His passion for the text is everywhere apparent as he teaches us to risk seeing the text differently. No one has brought that narrative to life better than this faithful servant. These essays and sermons are an enduring legacy of great value." --Patrick D. Miller, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
