Commentary review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther (Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent commentary providing cutural and contemporary literature background to the Old Testament.It really helps to understand the world that the Hebrews lived in. I highly recommend it anyone who is wanting to know more than just an explanation of the scriptures. It is like studying the American Civil War by knowing what Europe was doing at the time, especially England. I think you can understand why the Hebrews acted as they did when you know more about the life and pressures around them. I find it very interesting to know that much of the Bible is written in the same format as other literature of the same time, and then read that other literature. Details of everyday life make the people of the Bible come to life even more. The research is tremendous! |
