Ellen T. Charry -- Princeton Theological Seminary "This book is an excellent addition to the retrieval of theology as wisdom that shifts interest from propositions to people while continuing to belong in the modern university. It breaks new ground with a critical analysis of divine communicative action that enables Christians to speak publicly of the paideia of God by interpreting scripture and doctrine practically. Here is a fine young theologian on the move." David Lyle Jeffrey -- Baylor University "That theology as an intellectual discipline has been in protracted crisis few doubt; that it is insufficiently connected to the life of the wider church in the West is a scandal to some and, it must be admitted, a source of gratification to others. But in order to return theology to its primary task of providing the means of a vital pedagogy concerning the knowledge of God, we need a review of the map to see where we went wrong, then a coherent proposal for finding our way back. Daniel Treier provides in this closely reasoned work both a reliable map and an intriguing proposal. Every student of theology, formal or informal, will be enriched by his work.

" Kevin Vanhoozer -- Trinity Evangelical Divinity School " Virtue and the Voice of God invites exegetes, pastors, theologians, and educators to come and reason together about how to read the Bible in ways that foster wisdom and godliness. Treier practices the virtues he preaches: he listens attentively to diverse voices that weigh in on the nature of theology, theological education, and the interpretation of Scripture, then patiently weaves their valid insights together, repairing the fabric of theology in the process. The result is a template for a theological coat of many disciplinary colors, an important and much-needed pattern for sound doctrine.".
