5.0 out of 5 stars
SIMPLY THE BEST,
By "wenbag" (reno, nv USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Numbers (OT Daily Study Bible Series) (Paperback)
Walter Riggans does a fantasic job of blending facts and insightfulness. I've tried several commentaries on Numbers and this one was absolutely wonderful.
5.0 out of 5 stars
What a boring book!? Not!!!,
This review is from: Numbers (OT Daily Study Bible Series) (Paperback)
Although the name of the book of Numbers derives from the lists and census data contained therein, Walter Riggans whos that this biblical book, rich in content, is best understood in the context of the Pentateuch as a whole. In this incisive commentary the author describes the people of Israel during their trials in the wilderness, throughout the period of adjustment and into the time of settlement. He illustrates that the underlying theme of Numbers is the gracious providence of the Lord who car4es for Israel in spite of constant rebellion by the people and their leaders.
