"This publication is recommended to everyone interested in the notion of canon and every scholar who wrestles with the history of canon formation. Chapman's theory will have to be reckoned with in all future research of the Old Testament canon."P.M. Venter in Hervormde Theologise Studies 58/4 (2002), pgs. 1874-1875"This is a fine study on the intriguing question of the biblical canon. Chapman offers an alternative model of the origin of Law and prophets […] The book contains a lot of food for thought; maybe the interpretative model of a "theological grammar" will allow us to view the plurality of biblical texts in a different light. No serious future study can afford to overlook Chapman's insights."Anselm C. Hagedorn in The Journal of Religion vol. 83/1, pgs. 617-618"This is an important, and readable book. It shows that both the law and the prophets are authoritative Scripture which are aware of and play off each other. It is not a case of Torah priority or of the prophets being before and the source of the law, as some critics hold. This book should be in all academic theological libraries."David W. Baker in Ashland Theological Journal 34 (2002), pgs. 99-100
