Review of Biblical Literature September 10, 2007

I just realised that I have not been posting the Review of Biblical Literature for some weeks now. Here's the latest published on September 10. Check out the reviews of some excellent NT books. Of interest for me are the major commentary on 2 Peter and Jude by Peter Davids (it's been a long while since a major commentary on these two neglected NT books has been published) and Craig Evans' work on the historical Jesus, Fabricating Jesus.
