Review
The New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis has rapidly become a benchmark for Old Testament study. The introductory articles of this award-winning five-volume set stand alone as a study resource, and have proved their use as classroom material. Together, they introduce the student to everything he or she needs to know in order to begin doing exegesis of the Old Testament.

3.0 out of 5 stars No Punctuation, May 17, 2006

By	trinityjon (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

I just got a copy of this book. It lacks periods and colons in the main body of the text. The articles are good, but, like the last reviewer said, it is difficult to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the punctuation?, September 21, 2005

By	M. Wirtz (Deerfield IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book itself is great, but the publisher decided to leave out some of the punctuation. It is a bit frustrating when you try to read. This is a heads up for all who wish to purchase it.
