- Commentaries by Female Scholars by John Dyer
Reviews
A concise, non-technical commentary, from an expert in OT prophetic texts. Engaging but sometimes comments on large units without comments on specific features of the text.
Achtemeier does well at concisely summarizing some of the main points of the text and letting that lead to practical interpretation. One is of course left wishing she could have had more space to develop some of the ideas, but for the commentary series this is in and the space she was allowed – very well done. Though I would first go with Craigie for a short devotional commentary, this is a solid contribution to the Interpretation commentary.
