Review of Biblical Literature Latest

Latest from the SBL Review of Biblical Literature under the NT and related heading. In the tradition of always bigging up fellow-bibliobloggers, it is good to see a strong review for Michael Bird's new book. Since I am teaching Paul this term, I am encouraged to read it:
