Cotter (ed); Jerome T. Walsh, Chris Franke, associate ed.   aCollegeville, Minn. :bLiturgical Press,cc2003.  axxxviii, 366 p. :c24 cm.  aBerit Olam series922344  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.  aThis multi-volume commentary reflects a relatively new development in biblical studies. The readings of the book of the Hebrew Bible offered here all focus on the final form of the texts, approaching them as literary works, recognizing that the craft of poetry and storytelling that the ancient Hebrew world provided can be found in them and that their truth can be better appreciated with a fuller understanding of that art.

The authors reflect a variety of religious traditions, professional backgrounds, and theoretical approaches. Yet they share a common desire to make available to all of God's people the words of the everlasting covenant in all of their beauty.  aBiblexOT.922356vGenesis, Criticism, interpretation, etc.  919597aCotter, David W.4editor  aWalsh, Jerome T.9223474Associate editor  aFranke, Chris9223484Associate editor  2lcccREFhBS 1151.2i.B47 2003  00102lcc40708REFaAUA.1bAUA.1cREFd2012-01-26eBought by JTLg49.95hAUA006969l2oBS 1151.2 .B43 2003pAUA006969r2023-01-27 00:00:00s2023-01-26v49.95w2012-01-26yREF
