'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book by Dr. Plummer. It is one of the books I wished I had read when I was younger and was struggling with how to make sense of the Bible. It answers important questions about the nature, compositions nd interpretation of the Bible. From concepts of authorial intent, to textual criticism, to speech act theory, the book is full of gems that would be useful for anyone trying to make sense of the Bible. It is an unashamedly academic book in nature, full of footnotes and references, and yet, incredibly accessible and readable. Anyone with little or no background in these topics would be able to understand the questions being asked and the answers given. In short, a solid book meant for both, graduate students and the laity.' J. Amill Santiago
