Endorsements

"This informative and engaging work is not merely a catalog of assorted artifacts retrieved from the attic of New Testament studies. Much more, Baird helps us understand how and why New Testament scholarship has gotten where it is today, and thus how it may most fruitfully move on ahead. His survey of individual scholars and their major contributions brings both to life."
— Victor Paul Furnish

"Here at last is an account of modern New Testament study as fresh and as stimulating as it is reliable and comprehensive. The thoroughness of Baird's scholarship will surely make his book the standard treatment of the topic for years to come. To decide about what 'modern research' has done for, or to, our reading of the New Testament without paying attention to Baird would be to rush to judgment."
— James O. Duke
