Review
"The text is clearly written, up to date, cognizant of critical theories, yet true to the Bible as God's
Word and replete with helpful information. This work is destined to become a standard that will be turned to often
by students and ministers alike."
--Christianity Today
"It is a marvel of comprehension and a compendium of knowledge. It will take its sure place as a constant
companion for this generation."
--George A. F. Knight
"I doubt if there is any better value for the money today. As a basic book for every thinking Christian's
library, it is indispensable."
