This Festschrift on his 70th birthday contains 21 substantial essays by Andreas Köstenberger, Rosario Pierri, Domingo Muñoz León, Michèle Morgen, Francis J. Moloney, Dirk van der Merwe, Cornelis Bennema, Michael Labahn, Alviero Niccacci, Hans-Ulrich Weidemann, Urban C. von Wahlde, Maurizio Marcheselli, Rainer Riesner, Mary L. Coloe, Giancarlo Biguzzi, Romano Penna, Luis Díez Merino, Miroslaw S. Wróbel, Giorgio Giurisato, Yves Simoens, and Craig S. Keener. Eleven are in English (none by English scholars, but South Africa, Australia, and North America are well represented), four in Italian, and two each in German, French, and Spanish. A list (‘selected’) of 373 publications by Fr Manns prefaces the collection, and an English synopsis of all 21 is appended. As the list of contributors indicates, not all are Roman Catholic, but many will be unfamiliar to those inhabiting different academic contexts—a healthy jolt to our parochialisms. The footnotes and bibliographies provided for each article confirm the impression of parallel universes in New Testament scholarship, linked up mainly by the major commentaries. Professional competence is evident at every point, but there is little to change many readers’ minds. Literary analysis, theology, and spirituality predominate and a generally conservative tone is dominant. This reviewer found Mary Coloe’s emphasis on the daily Tamid service as background to ‘the lamb of God’ most suggestive, but cherry-picking from such a wide-ranging collection would be invidious.Read More
