Summary: the shape of things to come
Review: Hayes is one of the most exciting scholars of Judaic Studies today. The book exhibits all that we hope for in the academic treatment of religion: thorough knowledge of the primary sources, objective inquiry into the texts, and making alive the historical context in which the texts arose. Brava!
