"In the history of Christian theology, it is hard to imagine a question more fundamental, and often more divisive, than the relationship between Old and New Testaments, between Law and Gospel. With profound scholarly insight, and grounded in thorough knowledge of the latest research and writing, Ben Witherington III offers a sweeping and illuminating new perspective on these questions. The resulting work tells us much about the Old Testament, but also sheds massive and surprising light on the New. It is difficult to imagine a scholar so informed that she or he could not benefit from reading this book. At the same time, it has so much to offer the interested non-specialist. Every page offers rich food for thought!"

"Witherington’s convivial writing style will attract a wide readership to this next installment of his “old and new” series. His Christocentric approach to the “old” law will continue to incite dialogue and his explanation of the “new” law will be a help to readers of the New Testament."

“Completing his trilogy of exploring intertextuality in the Psalms, Isaiah, and now the Torah, this volume puts Witherington’s impressive command of the biblical documents and their backgrounds on full display. While I don’t agree with all of his proposals, I’ve learned much from this well-conceived study.”
