[Benjamin]

A brief, untechnical exposition of the Pentateuch. Though some of the material is dated, it is still a vary helpful guide for someone new to the Bible, or for someone who hasn't spent much time in the Old Testament.

[Cody Sellers]

Great commentary on the Pentateuch, from a conservative scholar who defends Mosaic authorship.

[M Billiodeaux]

I like this author. He has an interesting history and was a man of conviction. I have not read this book yet, but have not doubt that its thesis will be well supported with authoritative sources.

His style, which I so much enjoy, is straight forward, balanced, and respectful. He does not waiver on his points, but has the decency of pointing out that even if the logical conclusion of his opponent is incorrect, he does not necessarily ascribe such a view to his opponent. This quote by Allis illustrates the point: "In justice to Dr. Scofield it should be stated here that he not only recognizes but stresses the fact that the Old Testament ritual of sacrifice plainly sets forth in type Christ in his atoning work as Saviour. But the form of statement here must be admitted to be both unfortunate and dangerous."
