This is a wise commentary on an important book.

Birkett also helpfully negotiates a number of linguistic and theological problems raised by the book. Both pastors and lay people will be greatly helped by this commentary. -- Eric Ortlund, Lecturer in Old Testament and Biblical Hebrew, Oak Hill College
