James Barr was a central figure in twentieth-century biblical scholarship, theology, and the study of biblical languages. These three volumes, which he planned before his death in 2006, gather together many major papers and essays into an accessible collection. [T]his collection is a brimming cornucopia ... the reader is dazzled, at every turn, by the lively outpouring of a capacious mind. There is hardly an essay, or a single page, that fails to enlighten, instruct or correct.
