5.0 out of 5 stars
The final volume of an excellent Genesis commentary.,
By amanuensis (West Orange, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Genesis 37-50: A Commentary (Hardcover)
Westermann's Genesis commentary, long held to be a classic, is a valuable addition to any library concerned with serious study of Genesis. This volume, the third of three, concerns itself with the stories surrounding Joseph, son of Jacob as related in the final chapters of Genesis. Westermann carefully examines each pericope from a scholarly perspective with notes, commentary and comments. The bibliographic notes are also very helpful. His awareness of the vast amount of scholarship in this area is carefully processed to provide all but the beginning Bible students with a most valuable resource to which they will return again and again.
