A.s Studie zur Rezeption des Gebots der Nächstenliebe im Frühjudentum zur Zeit des Zweiten Tempels und im Neuen Testament is schlüssig aufgebaut und liefert ein hilfreichen Überblick über die direkten Zitate von Lev 19.18 (bzw 19,33-34) in der Literatur dieses Zeitfensters. Damit leistet A einen nützlichen Beitrag zur Erhellung der Geschichte des Gebots der Nächstenliebe. - Thomas Hieke, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 2019
…Akiyama has produced a very helpful book because of his careful, detailed study of the grammar and literary contexts of the love commandments and their quotations. - James W. Watts, RBL 2019
