Lamentations (ICC): A Critical and Exegetical Commentary

Description

For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. R.B. Salters' volume on Lamentations, a text not covered by the original volumes in the series, is now made available in paperback for the first time.

R.B. Salters is Honorary Reader in Hebrew in the University of St Andrews.

Perhaps the most valuable and unique contribution of the commentary section is the exegetical and critical comments. Like other ICC's commentaries, Salters offers an excellent and thorough exegetical work and great sensitivity to the ancient texts... Salters's contribution is a valuable addition to the International Critical Commentary series. Those who are interested in reading Lamentations exegetically will enjoy this commentary. -- Sung Jin Park * Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament *
