"The book will serve not only to stir the discussion; it will also prove to be a useful core resource to the discussion, providing useful, extensive and up-to-date bibliography as well as the mature insights of its authors." – Grant Macaskill, in: Journal for the Study of the New Testament 33/5
"...on tient là un ouvrage important qui ouvre des pistes demandant certes à être vérifiées mais qui, indéniablement, donnent à penser." – Ch. Grappe, in: Revue d’histoire et de philosophie religieuses 90/3 (2010)
"Durch die zahlreichen Informationen, die Referate und Diskussionen zur älteren Forschungsliteratur und die ausführliche Bibliographie … stellt diese Werk … ein gutes Hilfsmittel dar, das einen fundierten Einstieg in die Beschäftigung mit den Traditionen der frühen jüdischen Mystik ermöglicht." – Beate Ego, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 137 (2012)
"…opening up and emphasizing dimensions of the New Testament that are not usually highlighted. I congratulate [the authors] on a fine contribution to the discussion of somewhat neglected dimensions of earliest Christianity." – Michael E.
