'This is an easily readable and compelling book in many respects. The present reviewer found its orientation of religious epistemology around the revelatory event of Jesus Christ much needed. Moser also shows a keen eye for biblical detail. The book is rich with exegetical work and insight.' Reviews in Religion and Theology
