I was very impressed with this book. Not only does it provide a thorough investigation of PD, but it does so in a scholarly yet approachable way. I was especially impressed with the logical progression of the "argument", but also the excellent use of Scripture to make the finer points, including very important references to Greek issues.
I would like to have seen the authors address, not only PD in the context of mainstream dispensationalism, but also within the wider world of hermeneutics, including especially the Catholic tradition. I was amazed at how closely the two methods parallel one another. I think it reveals a point of possible dialogue to return to a greater unity of the Body of Christ. I do think the author hints at the need to pursue greater Christian unity in ch. 9, but stops short of outright making the point and unfortunately limits it to unity within Evangelical Protestantism.

Over all, this is a great read, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in emerging hermeneutics issues that are sure to change the interpretational understanding of many.… (mais)
