Wonderful Bible Commentary for adults and young people!,
By Ben Sandler (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Torah Commentary for Our Times: Numbers and Deuteronomy (Fields, Harvey J//Torah Commentary for Our Times) (Paperback)
Rabbi Fields's Torah commentary is splendid. It is fun to read and offers insights that can be picked up at a glance in brief sittings... or can be mulled over and discussed and debated in depth with friends and family. Originally I got this text as a gift from my father to help with teaching my Bible studies class to high school students. The students love the text -- and I also found it a joy to explore on my own.This is not just a textbook, but an ideal home Bible text... a perfect gift to yourself or the student of any age. Enjoy!

This review is from: A Torah Commentary for Our Times: Numbers and Deuteronomy (Fields, Harvey J//Torah Commentary for Our Times) (Paperback)
We'll be studying the book of Deuteronomy and I have ordered other Jewish commentaries that help me understand the Old Testament. This one has commentaries from rabbis of the past, and this is what I'm interested in - interpretation and historical contexts.
