Reviews

[Wren N.]

Just to be clear, I'm not claiming to have read any of these in their entirety! But I have been using them off and on for about ten years, and they are an unmatched resource to have at hand.

[Keith Splawn]

Thorough, exacting, and precise.

I have used this commentary set a couple of times since I purchased it. Currently, I reference it for the study of the Judges that I am conducted with the kids and for study of The Song of Solomon/Proverbs that we do at night. I like it because the authors do a tremendous amount of work w/the Hebrew text also.

I have always wanted this set. I recently purchased it from a man in Texas.
This is a reference set on the Old Testament, I doubt that I will ever read the entire set.
However, it is a must for a Christian Library.
