Press Reviews

This commentary on two of the more exciting books of the Bible is a real asset to pastors and Bible students. Firth is becoming quite the prolific commentator of late and tackles here another historical book of the Bible. . . . This is a fine volume. As a point of comparison, this volume is far superior to the well known Word Biblical Commentary volumes covering the same material. I highly recommend it.
