Book Reviews of Exodus 1-18 (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)
Book Review: Not for Dilettantes
Summary: 5 Stars
If found this an impressive piece of scholarship. I ordered it because I thought it might be helpful in leading a Bible Study Group on the Book of Exodus. I haven't been disappointed. Actually, it goes into much more depth than I need. I mostly read Propp's excellent translation of the Hebrew text and his commentary on the text. I tend to skip the Textual notes, source analyisis and redaction analysis, though they look impressive and thorough. Volume 2 (Chapters 19 - 49)ain't cheap, but I'm gonna buy it.
Summary of Exodus 1-18 (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)
"Exodus" is the heart of the Hebrew Bible, the defining moment in Israel's birth as a people, the dramatic triumph of their God. Yahweh, Pharaoh, Moses, Aaron, the Hebrew slaves, the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea - these larger-than-life characters and epoch-making events capture the imagination of everyone from biblical scholars to moviemakers. However, the meaning and significance, the beauty and nuance, of this captivating biblical book are lost unless we have a world-class Scripture scholar to open our eyes to its riches.In "Exodus 1-18", William H. C. Propp translates the original text in all its grandeur, then provides a masterful exploration and analysis of the book's first eighteen chapters. Here the fate of the Hebrew slaves hangs in the balance of the dramatic conflict between the God of Israel and the Pharaoh of Egypt. From the discovery of Moses in a basket made of bulrushes to the story of the Burning Bush, from the ten plagues visited upon Egypt by God to water from the rock and quail and manna from the skies, "Exodus" is filled with the miraculous and the dramatic.Doubleday is proud to be publishing the long-awaited first of two volumes of the "Anchor Bible Commentary" on "Exodus". Exhaustive, meticulous, and brilliantly researched, Propp's "Exodus 1-18" is well worth the wait, exceeding expectations and meeting the reader's every need.Reference Books
