He then moves to examine the interpretation of particular passages in detail, and by close exploration of theological and literary features he is able to contextualize the <i>Shepherd</i> alongside contemporary contexts. This volume covers the important thematic issues in the <i>Shepherd</i>, and also provides a fresh perspective that arises from a thoroughly textual focus; in so doing, Lookadoo enables readers to engage both with the <i>Shepherd</i> itself and the scholarship that surrounds the text<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Jonathon Lookadoo has created a perfect companion to the study of the <i>Shepherd of Hermas</i>.
