Bible Commentary

Great commentary. A real help in preparing Sunday School Lesson or just studying a biblical text.

Among the Best in the Series

I agree with the second reviewer that the first reviewer (some kind of self-proclaimed "Bible teacher") has some serious anger management issues. My take is that this is an excellent and well-written contribution to the NIVAC series. In case anyone is wondering, because of the first review, Dearman holds a BA from UNC, an MDiv from Princeton, and a PhD from Emory. He has written "Hosea" in the NICOT (a much more technical commentary series), and has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Biblical Literature for the Society of Biblical Literature, one of most highly-respected such societies in the world. So, rest assured, unless you hold tenure at a reputable seminary, Dearman knows Hebrew far better than you do. [...]

great theology

Boy did the first reviewer have a axe to grind! Longman rates this commentary five stars. He states that it is "a very sensitive theological reading that also brings these two books into touch with the contemporary world."
