My favorite commentary,
By
This review is from: Ruth (The Anchor Bible, Volume 7) (Hardcover)
I am a scientist, not a Hebrew scholar, but I love this book and it, in turn, has given me a love for the book of Ruth.
A Hebrew professor once told me this was the best English language commentary on Ruth, but that doesn't do it justice. It is a joy to read. The translation is lively and the commentary is totally engrossing. Even the textual notes are accessible and worthwhile reading for the layman. An example from the notes: (The Hebrew text injects) "a note of sly and good-humored wonder: `Well, what do you know, they arrived in Bethlehem for the barley harvest--just the right time!'" |
