Church of England Newspaper
on Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels
"Perkins' book is an excellent resource that deserves to be read widely. . . . It should be on the reading list for undergraduates and ordinands, and would make an excellent (and affordable) refresher for clergy wanting to reacquaint themselves with recent developments in the academic study of the synoptic gospels." more reviews
Christian Century
on Touching the Altar
"A terrific resource for pastors, students, and laypeople." more reviews
Calvin Theological Journal
on Preaching Christ from Genesis
"A book for every preacher's library. Not only will it help you preach many Christ-centered sermons on Genesis, but also its repetition of fundamental insights and skills will help you develop homiletical muscle memory that will hopefully transform you from workman to an artisan, from a duffer to a Tiger." more reviews
Interpretation
on God's Ambassadors
"This volume is a masterful performance. . . . Writing an integrated narrative involving many streams of Christianity over a four hundred year period is no small achievement. Holifield accomplishes this with excellence and grace. He has created a readable account from a vast array of material, both primary and secondary. In my judgment, this volume will become a classic. It will be of interest to all who practice ministry as well as those who are preparing to enter its ranks." more reviews
