«'I have no hesitation in recommending Belly and Body in the Pauline Epistles and besides those curious about the belly-topos in Paul, it will also appeal to those interested in the role of the body in antiquity, and Paul's body theology.' Neotestamentica»
«'… a volume filled with thoughtful proposals …'. Biblica»
«'… a thoroughly engaging study … Sandnes' work makes two major contributions … this is a solid book with a number of strengths … the work is creative, thorough, and based on primary texts … one gains the impression of a skilled scholar having a good time learning all he can that may shed light on the subject. This book will be required reading for any serious studies of Paul's perspective on the human body and its relation to his theological and moral reflection.' Reviews in Religion and Theology»
