Lamentations : A Critical and Exegetical Commentary
Author(s): R. B. Salters
For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments.
The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. The authors are of the highest international standing. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.
R. B. Salters, Honorary Reader in Hebrew at the University of St Andrews provides a masterful commentary on Lamentations, as befits this prestigious commentary series.
Review(s):
“Such attention to research on text-critical issues fills an important gap in Lamentations scholarship...These cristicisms are to be taken in life of the overall high value of the commentary. It is, indeed, a book that rightly belongs on the bookshelf of any serious reader of Lamentations.” —P. Sabo, University of Alberta, Studies in Religion 2013
