In breadth of coverage, thoroughness of learning, clarity of analysis and argument and, I think, soundness of judgment, this solid, lucid, pastorally angled treatise has no peer. Evangelicals who research, debate, teach, and counsel on gender, sex, marriage, and family will find it an endlessly useful resource. The easy mastery with which the author threads his way through forty years special pleadings gives this compendium landmark significance, and I recommend it highly.
-J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College
The special value of this book lies in its pervasive exposition of...

“In the beginning was Diversity. And the Diversity was with God, and the Diversity was God. Without Diversity was nothing made that was made. And it came to pass that nasty old ‘orthodox’ people narrowed down diversity and finally squeezed it out, dismissing it as heresy. But in the fullness of time (which is of course our time), Diversity rose up and smote orthodoxy hip and thigh. Now, praise be, the only heresy is orthodoxy. As widely and as unthinkingly accepted as this reconstruction is, it is historical nonsense: the emperor has no clothes. I am grateful to Andreas Köstenberger...

“This book is an admirable contribution to the Encountering series. Although he is a sure-footed specialist on John, Kostenberger nevertheless manages to write with the clarity and condensed simplicity expected of a college-level textbook. Students who study John’s Gospel with this guide in hand will emerge with a grasp of its content that will provide an anchor not only for the rest of their biblical studies, but for the rest of their lives.”

“Together they have written a biblical theology of mission that listens carefully to the biblical texts, and follows the Bible’s ‘story-line’ without flattening the diverse emphases of various biblical books. Here is scholarship that matters; careful and even-handed, yet of transforming significance for all Christians serious about the mission of the church of Jesus Christ.”
