And the winner is ...

Even after much deliberation it was difficult to decide on a winner to receive a copy of Chris VanLandingham’s Judgment and Justification in Early Judaism and the Apostle Paul.

Nevertheless, in a close run decision with three almost level, we are pleased to announce that Dan Oudshoorn will be receiving, courtesy of the generous folk at Hendrickson Publishers, a brand new copy of VanLandingham’s book in the post. I hope that you enjoy this thought-provoking book as much as I do. There is much in this that ought to prompt debate and fresh thinking, even if, I suspect, the general argument may need significant adjustment and even rebuttal.

While Dan’s contribution was, we thought, easily the best in terms of the most realistic prediction for future developments in NT scholarship, JB Hood’s soothsaying, while not strictly concerned with ‘scholarship’, had the wring of serious truth about it! And Alastair’s was utterly hilarious. This was a tough choice!

Thank you all for the brilliant comments!
