Book
Reviews
Angels in the Early Modern World, edited by Peter Marshall and Alexandra Walsham, is reviewed by Nicholas Orme in the Church Times.
In Books and Culture, Timothy Larsen reviews Let Her Speak for Herself: Nineteenth-Century Women Writing on Women in Genesis, edited by Marion Ann Taylor and Heather E. Weir.
In the Church Times, George Pattison reviews The Old Creed and the New, by Don Cupitt, Radical Theology, by Don Cupitt, and The God Problem: Alternatives to Fundamentalism by Nigel Leaves.
In the Church Times Gillian Evans reviews The Senses in Late Medieval England, by C. M. Woolgar. Senses 'is somewhat like the pattern in a Celtic illumination: dense, decorative, but essentially flat; though, in a similar way, the book is immensely enjoyable and illuminating.'
John Court reviews Lazarus, Mary and Martha: A Social-Scientific and Theological Reading of John, by Philip F. Esler and Ronald A. Piper, also in the Church Times. 'Some ofthe best biblical research can be focused sharply on a re-markably small amount of text... The relevant texts on the raising of Lazarus, the anointing of Jesus’s feet by
Mary, and the provision of burial spices after the crucifixion are given close scrutiny, together with the problems they raise, which have puzzled commentators.'
