The NICOT series serves as an authoritative guide to bridging the cultural gap between today's world and the world of ancient Israel. The commentary opens with an introduction to the bibical book, looking especially at questions concerning its background, authorship, date, purpose, structure and theology. A select bibliography also points readers to resources for their own study.
The author´s own translation from the original Hebrew forms the basis for the commentary proper, with verse-by-verse comments counter-balancing in-depth discussions of technical matters - textual criticism, critical problems etc.
