Written for undergraduate and seminary students and their teachers, as well as for pastors, priests, and Adult Sunday School classes, it introduces the users to the main features of the biblical book and its content.Yet each short commentary does more. It also brings us a precious gift, namely the opportunity of reading this biblical book as if for the first time.
