Note publique d'information : La 4e de couverture porte : " The Historical Commentary on the Old Testament is an
international series of commentaries which devotes explicit attention to the history
of interpretation of biblical tradition in all its stages, both within and without
the Hebrew canon. As the term ‘Old Testament’ indicates, the commentary stands in
the Christian exegetical tradition. The contributors are comprised of scholars from
all over the world and from many different churches and denominations. The commentary
is intended not only for Old Testament scholars, but also for ministers and other
interested parties. The treatment of every pericope is preceded by a new translation
and a section called ‘Essentials and Perspectives’ in which the author summarizes
the results of the exegesis in non-technical language. The primacy here is assigned
to the final stage of the text. The summary incites the user to consult the main body
of the exegesis which is headed ‘Scholarly Exposition’. Here the approach is that
of modern critical scholarship. "
