The Book of Exodus (1974): A Critical Theological Commentary (The Old Testament Library)

Taking a pioneering approach to commentary writing Brevard Childs gives an entirely original treatment to the book of Exodus. Apart from the philological notes and translation this commentary includes a form-critical section looking at the growth of the tradition in its previous stages; a consideration of the meaning of the text in its present form; and a consideration of its meaning in its total Old Testament context. This volume is now available in a new casebound edition.
