HELP FROM EXPERT SCHOLARS IN UNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPTURES • What does That verse mean?

Reviewed by David Crain (Ellenboro, NC), September 17, 2009 This commentary arrived in brand-new condition, as promised on the website. Shipping was prompt, and I was satisfied with the book's condition. However, I would say that it was somewhat trumped up concerning the "significance of this word or phrase in the Hebrew or Aramaic." In that technical regard, I was somewhat disappointed with the book. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Adam (CANADA), December 27, 2002 Very helpful! You want a GOOD commentary that doesn't take up all your shelves? This is the one! I highly suggest. It's easy to understand, comprehensive, non-techinical language, nice font size, etc. It has info about each book and gives a general survey before the commentary is given. I wish I got this a long time ago. Write a review of The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old Testament
