Review essays feature analysis and elaboration—what scholars call “criticism”—largely missing from ordinary book and movie reviews. The present book contains review essays that have appeared in a variety of publications and remain relevant for contemporary “thinking Christians.” The essays include critiques of written works by popular thinkers such as N. T. Wright, Bart Ehrman, Reza Aslan, Christian Smith, and Frederic Raphael, films by directors Mel Gibson and Ingmar Bergman, a recent biography of F. F. Bruce, and more. The hyphen in “Re-Views” links the newness of republication with the analytical character of the essays. They start with those dealing with the biblical text and its translation, proceed to some higher critical issues, graduate to literary portraits of Jesus, discuss the relation between the Bible and tradition, and conclude with some biographical portrayals of people associated with Scripture and its interpretation.
