Reviews
'... [Professor] Parker ... admits, as all genuine scholars do, that 'I am struck by how little we know ... about almost everything I have written about'. That one sentence should be sufficient proof of this book's value to any doubters.' Contemporary Review, 'Clear and pedagogically creative, Parker's book is a welcome and refreshing addition to the field.' Will Deming, University of Portland, '… [Professor] Parker … admits, as all genuine scholars do, that 'I am struck by how little we know … about almost everything I have written about'. That one sentence should be sufficient proof of this book's value to any doubters.' Contemporary Review, '... anyone interested in the subject should drop whatever else they are doing and go and buy it ... Brilliant, lucid, learned, nuanced, and able to look at things from lots of different angles. Also provocative, stimulating, informative and interesting.' Peter M. Head, Lecturer in New Testament, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge and Tyndale House, "This work fills a current need for an up-to-date presentation of the discipline for students, and also will serve as a valuable resource for all scholars in New Testament studies." --Choice, 'I found reading Parker's Introduction intellectually refreshing and enjoyable. Parker engages the study of the manuscripts and their texts in all their complexity with a sense of respect, curiosity and awe which is contagious. I recommend the text to any thoughtful reader who has ever wondered about the development and transmission of Christian thought and scriptures.' David W. Odell-Scott, Kent State University, 'Parker is brilliant … trained researchers will find in this book an impressive amount of useful and up-to-date information. … those taking their first steps in this thorny field will unquestionably take advantage of this volume either as a textbook or as a reference tool. It is unlikely that, while reading it, they will not be captured by the deep fascination for manuscripts its author transmits in every single page; that, perhaps, is the best lesson he gives.' Reformation, "[Parker offers] a fascinating and often humorous look into the world of manuscript studies and textual criticism." -Laura J. Hunt, Moody Theological Seminary, 'This is a wonderful book. An almost uncanny combination of erudition and common sense, it should be read by anyone interested in New Testament textual criticism.' Kathleen Maxwell, Santa Clara University, '… anyone interested in the subject should drop whatever else they are doing and go and buy it … Brilliant, lucid, learned, nuanced, and able to look at things from lots of different angles. Also provocative, stimulating, informative and interesting.' Peter M. Head, Lecturer in New Testament, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge and Tyndale House

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustrationStreet Fighter II - Guile (Player 2) Figure - 6 Inch (#365698737394)
- 2***0 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
