“Most Ph.D. dissertations in New Testament studies are read only by the committee for whom they were written, are bound and shelved in the research library, and are happily forgotten by everyone except the author. A few dissertations find publication in a monograph or dissertation series, or even a university press, and can claim readers beyond the boundaries of the writer's department. This is known as academic success. But when a dissertation has stayed in print for twenty years and is then reissued by a major publisher -without alteration - for a still wider readership, we can speak of real influence and importance.”
