Reviews
'...imposante übersetzungstechnische, organisatorische und editorische Leistung, ohne die in solches Großprojekt nicht hätte realisiert werden können. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die RPP in der Tat dazu beitragen kann, den Dialog zwischen deutschsprachiger und anglophoner Theologie zu befördern.' Rochus Leonhardt, Leipzig, Theologische Literaturzeitung 140 (2015) We congratulate editors, translators and publishers on their great achievement and in such a short time. [...] well researched, carefully written and authoritative.' J.K. Elliott, Novum Testamentum 56 (2014)
