Title: The Interpreter's One Volume Commentary on the Bible: Introduction and Commentary for Each Book of the Bible Including the Apocrypha, With General A by George A. Buttrick ISBN: 0-687-19299-4 Publisher: Abingdon Press Pub. Date: 01 September, 1971 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $40.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Insight into Christian thought
Comment: OK, I haven't exactly read this, one usually does not read a reference book from cover to cover. I have used it to get interpretations of some Bible passages.
The book is divided into four major sections, commentary book by book on the Hebrew Testament, the Apocrypha, and the Christian Testament, and the fourth section, General Articles. There are also brief sections including a Chronology, Maps, and Indexes.
The commentary is interesting, most of the contributors seem to take care in differentiating between what is know historically and what is a matter of belief or tradition.
It loses one star for timeliness, this edition is 30 years old. Will there be a 21st century edition, incorporation the last generation of archeological finds?
Rating: 5
Summary: The best I've come across yet.
Comment: Excellent reference companion for anyone studying the bible. A good balance of historical and theological commentary from a more academic point of view. Although it is rather old at this point, it still excedes most commentaries published today in terms of providing accurate and informative information, leaving the reader examine the facts and make their own decisions.
