About
The Eeerdmans Commentary on the Bible presents, in nontechnical language, the best of modern scholarship on each book of the Bible, including the Apocrypha. Reader-friendly commentary compliments succinct summaries of each section of the text and will be valuable to scholars, students, and general readers.
Rather than attempt a verse-by-verse analysis, these volumes work from larger sense units, highlighting the place of each passage within the overarching biblical story. Commentators focus on the genre of each text-parable, prophetic oracle, legal code, and so on-interpreting within the historical and literary context.
The volumes also address major issues within each biblical book-including the range of possible interpretations-and refer readers to the best resources for further discussions.
