and Mao Dun come into view, in some cases for quite substantial treatment. Readers already conversant with all of these individuals probably have little to learn from this volume. A delicious irony is the warning against "parontocentrism," defined as "the fallacy of taking the present as a normative point of departure in studying the past" (col. 662). Is this not at the core of Troeltsch's triad of Kritik-Anologie-Korrelation, the backbone of historical-critical method, and still prevalent in social-scientific readings, which depend by definition on models validated by current convictions often characterized by transience? Little wonder, then, when Bible interpreters find "no clear answers" regarding apartheid or homosexuality (col. 250) in Scripture, discover "masculinity" in the Bible to be a matter of contingencies still being determined by current preferences and behaviors (col. 669), and "Masculinity Studies" (cols. 1248-56) to point to the finding that "the Bible itself.. . seeks to undercut any hegemonic version of masculinity (see, e.g., Gal 3:28)" (col. 1255). So much depends on definitions. Whether discerning hermeneutical complexities like the above or historical challenges like the identity of the 13 different figures in the Bible called Malchijah, the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception in its eventual 30-volume fullness is an invaluable resource for tracing the vast expanses and effects of scriptural investigation and interpretation across centuries and cultures.

Currently, readers may find several sets of lengthy-and rather technicalbooks on Reformed theology, as well as some that are helpful and semipopular. Explorations in Biblical Theology takes a more midrange approach, seeking to offer readers the substantial content of the more lengthy books, while striving for the readability of the semipopular books. This series includes two types of books: (1) some treating biblical themes and (2) others treating the theology of specific biblical books. The volumes dealing with biblical themes seek to cover the whole range of Christian theology, from the doctrine of God to last things. Representative early offerings in the series focus on the empowering by the Holy Spirit, justification, the presence of God, preservation and apostasy, and substitutionary atonement. Examples of works dealing with the theology of specific biblical books are volumes on the theology of 1 and 2 Samuel, Psalms, and Isaiah in the Old Testament, and books on the theology of Mark, Romans, and James in the New Testament. Explorations in Biblical Theology is written for college seniors, seminarians, pastors, and thoughtful lay readers. These volumes are intended to be accessible and not obscured by excessive references to Hebrew, Greek, or theological jargon. Each book seeks to be solidly Reformed in orientation, because the writers love the Reformed faith. The various theological themes and biblical books are treated from the perspective of biblical theology. Writers either trace doctrines through And last but not least, to my editor, Robert Peterson, who for many years has been a teacher, a writing mentor, a friend, and most of all a faithful Christian brother.
