Reviews‘Very well planned, and widely representative, this is likely to be much the best one-volume commentary for several decades to come.’
James Barr, Regius Professor of Hebrew, Emeritus, Oxford University and Distinguished Professor of Hebrew Bible, Emeritus, Vanderbilt University
‘The Oxford Bible Commentary is a balanced and insightful reference work, combining traditional critical views and newer approaches to the interpretation of the Bible at the highest levels of scholarship. It is sure to become a standard resource for detailed study of the Bible.’
Michael D. Coogan,
Director of Publications, Harvard Semitic Museum
Professor of Religious Studies, Stonehill College
‘The Oxford Bible Commentary is a superb new resource. An extraordinary international and ecumenical cast of first-rate scholars provides reliable and up-to-date commentaries on each book of the Bible. The commentaries brief the reader on the background and context of each biblical book and offer succinct and clear exposition of its contents. Clergy, teachers, and interested lay people will prize this one-volume commentary as a guide and support for thoughtful exploration of the biblical text.’
Donald Senior, C.P.,
Catholic Theological Union, Chicago
‘No person interested in biblical interpretation will want to be without this impressive one-volume commentary. Comprehensive yet accessible and well-documented introductory essays provide admirably balanced discussions of critical and post-critical approaches to the Bible. The book-by-book commentaries… are unusually rich in theological and other exegetical insights. The Oxford Bible Commentary… should be on the shelves of all serious readers, students, and scholars of the Bible.’
Leonard J. Greenspoon,
Professor of Jewish Civilization
Creighton University
