I have this book in my hardcopy library and it isa very helpfu resourcel. Kenneth Bailey is amazingly astute in his knowledge and discourse regarding the Easter mindset and culture! It would be a great addition in any form to one's library.

I have read this and have it in my dead-tree library. It's an excellent resource and would be great for Logos to have. I'm not familiar with the rest of Bailey's works, but I bet they're good, too.
