Reviews

[Kirk Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Judges (read in 2022) - Some less-mainstream interpretations at times, sometimes peculiar. But I enjoy the pace of this series--hits significant details without getting too bogged down; still concise and relatively brief. Also, Van Pelt's work on structure, literary content, how the whole passage fits together, and emphasis (claim, overall point) were always very helpful.

[Thomas Creedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Deuteronomy and Joshua solid. Judges and Ruth felt a bit rushed. But still appreciating the format - even if unlike the NT volumes I’ve read there weren’t recommendations of other commentaries at end of each section.

Ruth Commentary

[Joseph Ficklen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Most recently read the commentaries for Joshua, Judges, and Ruth, which are excellent. Each follows the same format, starting with the text, an outline of the section, commentary on each passage, followed by a Christ-centered application of the text. The authors have deepened my understanding and appreciation of these Biblical books.
