Title:    Global Bible Commentary

Publisher Description: This new commentary invites users to expand their horizons by reading the Bible with scholars from all over the world and from different religious persuasions. By making explicit the specific context and the concerns from which he or she reads the Bible, each scholar points out to us significant aspects of the biblical text that we may have taken for granted or overlooked. Although these scholars have approaches and concerns that often are poles apart, they share two basic convictions: biblical interpretation always matters and reading the Bible "with others" is highly rewarding. Each of the short commentaries is a readily accessible guide for reading a biblical book. Written for undergraduate and seminary students and their teachers, as well as for pastors, priests, and adult Sunday school classes, it introduces users to the main features of the biblical book and its interpretative context. It also brings us a precious gift, namely the opportunity of reading each biblical book as if for the first time.
