— from the Foreword by Robert G. Bratcher

"In my judgment, the manuscript is excellent. The title is apt, both attractive and cogent. A good case is made for the Sermon on the Mount (SM) as indeed a sermon, evangelistic at that. The study probes deeply into the intention of the SM and is cogent in the whole hermeneutical task. The style is forceful and attractive. The message of the SM is articulated with unusual clarity and force, with proper attention to relevance. In its wholeness and as 'a new fabric', it is an original."
