This book shares the strengths and weaknesses of any edited volume, but in this case there is greater unity in approach and outlook among the different writers than usual. The differences that do emerge are of the sort that gratifyingly send one back to the original texts to wrestle with the issues at hand. Indeed, while this volume is a significant contribution in its own right, its greatest value may well lie in the impetus it can provide to further research in NT cosmology. I warmly recommend this book to anyone interested in the cosmology or the theology of the NT, and readers will discover in the end that neither of these subjects can in fact be treated in isolation from the other.
