Book Recommendation: Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies

I just received this in the post and I am excited to finally have a copy.  The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies, first published in 2006, is finally available in paperback and a fraction of the original cost (was ₤85, now ₤27.50; ₤26.13 at Amazon.co.uk).

What does it contain?  In more than 800 hundred pages, you have dozens of recognized scholars giving introductions and state-of-the-discipline discussions on such topics as:

NT History of Interpretation (last 70 years; R. Morgan); Rogerson does OT

Qumran Studies (P. Davies)

Language of NT (S.E. Porter)

Israel in the second temple period (L. Grabbe)

Life of Jesus and early X (C.A. Evans)

Priesthood, Temple, Sacrifice (C.T.R. Hayward)

Law in OT (G. Wenham)

Institutions and Movements (J. Lieu)

Apocalyptic (P. Davies)

Novella (Erich Gruen)

Gospels (R. Burridge)

Letters (Lieu)

Growth of NT (J.M. Court)

Rhetorical and New Literary Criticism (M.M. Mitchell)

Social, Political, and Ideological Criticism (C. Rowland)

OT Theology (Breuggemann)

NT Theology (Dunn)

Canon (L.M. McDonald)

Historical Criticism and the Authority of the Bible (J.W. Rogerson)

I really look forward to interacting with this.  Once I have dipped into a few essays I will report more.
