Book Synopsis
This masterly work aims to restore the literature of the Bible to a general readership, combining insightful commentary with extracts from the Old Testament chosen for their artistic and dramatic interest.

Trade Review
"The comments which accompany the individual extracts are admirably clear and pack a good deal of information and insight into a comparatively brief compass...The non-specialist reader will be greatly enlightened by the introductory sections on the Hebrew language, Hebrew storytelling and Hebrew poetry. Two appendices set the Old Testament in its earliest literary contexts, the Ancient Near East and Greek Literature, then latter being particularly interesting and reflecting the author's training as a classicist." J.R. Porter, The Times Literary Supplement, (January 4, 2002)
