"Borsch helps us feel our way into the text.... We experience the healing of a dumb man from within the consciousness of the tormented victim. We climb inside the skin of Andrew and feel his smug contempt for pagans and Gentiles, and his impatience with the Syrophoenician woman. With the flick of the writer's pen, we are that desperate woman. Served up with substantial biblical and theological commentary and laced with engaging experiences from the author's life, these stories bridge the gap between past history and contemporary interests and invite us to further study and reflection."
