[Shannon Lytle · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 2nd time to read the Bible through. Loved the commentary available in thus version.

[Brent · Rating 2 out of 5]

Definitely a handy concise commentary to have, however, quite the opposite of what I was searching for at the time. Sailhamer does a great job at exposition of the text, however, many of the tough texts are left ambiguous. The content of this book would be suitable to make of the study notes of a bible, but not a commentary in and of itself.
