Tyndale OT Commentaries are no longer green, they are brown. The intention is to revise the entire series; pity the writer who has to redo the volumes originally by Derek Kidner. Why revise? Because, say the editors, ‘the questions confronting readers in the 21st century are not necessarily those of the 20th’. Fair point.
And this is certainly a good commentary in the best Tyndale traditions of academic study, concision and faithfulness to the text, underpinned by the conviction that Scripture is from God for us.
