Like other books in this series, this commentary is accompanied by a CD-ROM. A very informative Introduction explains canonical context, literary development, the historical setting of the narratives recounted, and their theological significance. A detailed outline of the biblical book precedes its interpretation. Written for the general reader, the section-by-section commentary demonstrates the author’s ability to relate biblical issues to contemporary situations. Each page is laid out in an attractive manner and sometimes includes icons that alert the reader to additional information about the meaning of a Hebrew word, insight into a detail of culture, a connection with a contemporary issue, or suggestions for further reading. Helpful maps and reproductions of classic art are found throughout the pages.
