Von der hinteren Coverseite

Praise for previous volumes in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms series

"[Tremper] Longman is to be congratulated for producing a valuable translation of Proverbs and a user-friendly commentary that takes seriously the needs of the contemporary audience for which he writes. Pastors and seminary students will gain much from studying Proverbs with an expert interpreter who is attuned to the rhetoric of the text, its ancient context, and its possible contemporary import. Scholars, too, will profit from Longman's often provocative and creative work."
--Timothy J. Sandoval, Review of Biblical Literature

"[Craig] Bartholomew's writing style is elegant, and he keeps the reader's interest. . . . [Ecclesiastes] is worthy of purchase certainly by Qohelet experts but also by general scholars and educated laypeople. Young scholars will find it especially helpful as an introduction to contemporary issues. It is eminently readable, original, interesting, and deep."
--Mark Sneed, Catholic Biblical Quarterly

"I trust that clergy and future clergy will hear, learn from, and share the message of the Psalms that [John] Goldingay has so effectively illuminated, as this series of commentaries intends. As for biblical scholars, many of us too will certainly appreciate Goldingay's illumination of the message of the Psalms; and in any case, his work will be an indispensable resource for future academic study of and comment upon the Psalms."
--J. Clinton McCann Jr., Journal of Hebrew Scriptures

"[In Song of Songs, Richard Hess] provides a translation of the text under consideration and extensive critical explanation of that translation. The commentary itself moves through the text line by line, attending to the intricacies of the Hebrew language and the power of the erotic imagery. Throughout the commentary he weaves in intertextual references, thus relating the content of these poems with other biblical material. . . . Though the analysis here has been done with both care and skill, the text is quite readable. This book will be a helpful resource for students and teachers alike."
--Dianne Bergant, CSA, Bible Today
