Reviews
"Murphy and Huwiler's lively commentaries on the NIV text bring the wisdom tradition into critical focus for questions of faith. Armed with the insights of biblical scholarship, they situate their texts within the thought world of the Hebrew Bible, but with an eye to a modern reader's concerns about meaning, coherence, and authority. Together, they produce a work that is readable and useful for the general reader and is a real treat for those believers who find most academic studies of the Bible dry and daunting." —Carole R. Fontaine, professor of Hebrew Scriptures, Andover Newton Theological School
"All three commentaries are recommended for the modern reader who wants to know more about the Hebrew Bible but requires the material to be both accessible and applicable to the reacher's concerns. Murphy and Huwiler are pastoral scholars." -- Camilla Burns, S.N.D. de N., Loyola University Chicago
