Whether you see the Bible as the living word of God, or as a highly
significant document from the ancient world, or as one of the
classic works of world literature, The Oxford Bible Commentary will
put in your hands everything you need to study and understand the
biblical text.
Here is a monumental, line-by-line critical commentary on the
Bible, covering all the books that appear in the NRSV. An essential
reference work, this definitive book provides authoritative,
non-denominational commentary written by an international team of
more than 70 leading scholars from
various religious backgrounds. Incorporating the latest research,
the contributors examine the books of the Bible in exhaustive
detail, taking a historical-critical approach that attempts to shed
light on the scriptures by placing them in the context in which
their first audiences would have
encountered them, asking how they came to be composed and what were
the purposes of their authors. The Commentary includes a general
introduction, extensive introductions to both testaments and the
Apocrypha, and briefer introductions to the particular books, plus
an essay with commentary on
important post-biblical Jewish and Christian literature. Each
article concludes with a bibliography that points the reader toward
the most important supplemental works in English, including major
reference works, introductions, and so forth.
A truly stunning work of biblical scholarship, The Oxford Bible
Commentary will be an invaluable resource for pastors preparing a
sermon, for students, for those in study or discussion groups, and
indeed for anyone--whether Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or
Orthodox Christian--who seeksa
clearer perspective on a text that has been held in reverence for
thousands of years. The OBC features a Logos Library System CD-ROM
that, once unlocked, gives the reader access to its text and that
of the New Revised Standard Version Bible. The CD is fully
compatible with all Logos products.
