Bret Fajmon

Gives a good summary of the historical situation of Exodus and defends the historicity of Exodus. The commentaries in this series weigh their words and use space in a compact way. A good compromise between a technical commentary (notes on the author's translation from Hebrew) and a homiletical commentary (a summary of each section). Notes on form and section in wise manner and high style begun in the Genesis commentary by Matthews in the NAC series - gives different views of sources and then a wise conclusion that many of these theories are not necessary.
