Bible Commentaries

"The subtitle of this series - "A Biblical-Theological Commentary"- clarifies what these...volumes intend to do.

Their purpose is theological: to fell the pulse of God's word for its religious impact and direction.

Their method is biblical: to establish the scriptural word firmly within the life and culture of ancient Israel.

Their style is commentary: not to explain verse by verse but to follow a presentation of the message that is easily understandable to any serious reader, even if this person is untrained in ancient history and biblical languages." (Editors' Preface)
