“Because the Bible, more than any other holy book, roots its revelation of the Creator in identifiable time and space, the geographic context of the biblical message is of the greatest importance. This means that this series, and particularly this volume on the Pentateuch, is extremely valuable to the student of the Bible, not only in its articles dealing with specific geographic data and locations, but also with the larger geographic issues. Highly recommended.”
—John N. Oswalt, Visiting Distinguished Professor of Old Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary
“In Scripture, especially in the Pentateuch, land is not only a grand theme but part of its message, with a knowledge of the geographic setting often yielding greater perception of a story’s significance. With stunning visuals and insightful discussions from top-notch scholars, the Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Pentateuch is a much-needed resource that all Bible students, scholars, and pastors will want on their shelves.”
—L. Michael Morales, professor of Biblical Studies, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
“The Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Pentateuch is a robust addition to the library of anyone serious about the historicity of the biblical text. I am delighted that such a robust resource exists! It assembles the best of evangelical scholarship on places mentioned in the Pentateuch. The essays are beautifully illustrated with photographs, artwork, charts, maps, and diagrams to help readers visualize the biblical context. Linguistic, cultural, historical, archaeological, and other resources are brought to bear on the text as the authors engage with critical perspectives and weigh various proposals. Each essay begins with a summary of key points and closes with a bibliography of relevant sources. This book will be a significant help to me in my own research and teaching.”
—Carmen Joy Imes, associate professor of Old Testament, Talbot School of Theology
