The critical focus in De-Introducing the New Testament on the modernist genre of writing and type of intellectual-cultural-political practice that is the "Introduction to the New Testament" is long overdue and much needed. The writers are bold and expansive in their critique and in their proposals. Their book merits serious attention. I hope it provokes sustained rethinking and reorientation. Vincent L.
