"Adam's analysis is critically acute
and theologically edifying. Here is
theological hermeneutics at its best."
– Stephen Fowl, Loyola College in Maryland
"For over fifteen years, A. K. M. Adam has been patiently urging us to abandon the modern quest for the holy grail of correct interpretive method. In these illuminating and instructive essays, Adam helps us see not only why such a quest is bound to fail, but also where to direct our energies instead. For as Adam rightly reminds us, for that community called church, the practice of reading the Bible is not primarily about 'getting it right,' but about being transformed into a more faithful embodiment of the gospel."
– Philip D. Kenneson, Associate Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Milligan College
