'...all the contributions are of high interest...' George J. Brooke, Journal for the Study of Judaism.

Peter W. Flint, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 1994. 'Professor van der Woude's scholarly reputation and expertise in so many areas is amply reflected in this collection of studies...' Peter W. Coxon, Journal of Semitic studies, 1995. '...das Buch ist ein reiches, bewegt-bewegendes, der Freiheit Gottes in Jesus Christus frohes und frohmachendes.' Jurgen Fangmeier, Theologische Literaturzeitung, 1994. 'This volume is a superb collection of essays that indicate something of the esteem in which A.S van der Woude is held among contemporary Old Testament scholars.' Katharine J. Dell, Vetus Testamentum, 1997. 'This is an important collection with articles ranging across the spectrum of biblical studies from the more traditional to the more radical, from the more text-based to the historical and literary, from interest in the earlies laws of Israel to the latest rabbinic productions - a veritable feast for the serious biblical scholar.' Richard A. Taylor, Biblioteca Sacra, 1995.
