Review: Excellent book - Without a doubt an excellent book, which shows a historical and cultural perspective of the biblical passages of the Old Testament. I only have one complaint, and it has to do with the chapter of Isaiah 53, since the comment in that chapter, in my view and understanding, has nothing to do with what Isaiah is talking about, so instead of clarifying that chapter, for me it was quite confusing. In itself, the book is very good, you don't have to agree with all the interpretation written there, but without a doubt there is very good information.
Review: A really useful and commendable commentary - I favor the use of commentaries when studying Bible passages as a means to dig deeper into the meaning of the Scripture through the times and then ease my understanding of the personal message in it for me. This excellent commentary is clearly organized and well focused on the hundreds of phrases subject to analysis. The inclusion of many carefully chosen mega themes is very welcome and are very pertinently located within the books. Overall, this commentary will definitely help the student, the curious, the reader, the seeker of meditation and the devout to hear the Word of God and gain a fresh insight of possibilities and understanding.
