Book Description

June 1, 1996

Numbers chronicles a community faced with many competing interests, groups, and issues, endeavoring to define itself and its mission in the world. Dennis Olsen offers readers a comprehensive interpretation of this often overlooked book. He provides a thoroughly contemporary reading of Numbers that enlightens the modern church as it navigates the contemporary wilderness of pluralism, competing voices, and and shifting foundations.

Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

Decent if unrealiable October 5, 2005
Format:Hardcover
Dennis Olson (Ph.D. Yale; Princeton Seminary OT prof.) is an extremely careful and thoughtful scholar, with a world-class reputation. This is an above-average entry in this highly uneven Interpretation series.

Olson has a 'canonical' approach which, while accepting critical views of the Bible, makes them secondary. And this Interpretation series is geared for pastoral application. Nevertheless, his critical assumption sometimes overwhelm his interpretations. I would not use this as my first or only commentary on Numbers.

Often lively and original, this makes solid (and readable) supplemental study for the student who wants a range of opinions on the text.
