'Four editors, fifty-six contributors, 849 pages of text, twelve
indices spread out over eighty-nine pages and constituting a
separate volume—this is huge, and not simply in girth. In an era
when the genre of Festschriften has alas lost its luster, this
collection shines through. At the risk of blaspheming, I can best
appraise this work by paraphrasing (and loosely at that) the last
verse of Gen 1: All those involved in Emanuel saw everything they
had made, and indeed, it was very Tov.'
Leonard Greenspoon, Review of Biblical Literature, 2007.
