I was quite pleased with this book when I bought it, because it was only 2.99 . There are a lot of anecdotal stories which I feel somewhat ambivalent about. However, one of them describes the author's denominational debate about the acceptance of gay "marriage" as a "tricky issue" He compares this to CH 32 of Numbers, when the Ruebanites and the Gaddites ask to stay east of the Jordan to raise their cattle. Pretty much a huge let down.

The other reviewer for this commentary clearly misinterpreted it, as Dr. Goldingay was a member of the panel representing the traditionalists in his denomination in that debate (see Anglican Theological Review from 2011--vol 93 no 1). Either way, leaving a 1-star review for that single issue rather than the quality of the commentary as a whole is particularly distasteful. Goldingay is always worth reading on the OT.

Great book and price! I would like CBD would have more products for mainline and progressive Christians. An annual membership might be an incentive, especially if would affect or cut down on the shipping charges.
