Theological Book Review
`... the book will commend itself to Bible Students who regard OT history as in a class by itself ... Valuable light is thrown on obscure OT texts as Psa. 74.13 Job 7.12, Jer. 44.19 and many others.' Bible Study Monthly Vol 69, Nov/Dec 92
'This welcome paperback reprint costs well under half the original hardback. The publishers are to be commended for making such studies more widely available.'
A.G. Auld
'a book of mature studies by an expert in the field, drawn from his lifelong research into ancient Near Eastern history ... Malamat provides a source book for anyone interested in pursuing biblical studies in relation to their Near Eastern setting. Anyone who has ever puzzled over the subject of prohecy will find a wealth of information in this book. Particularly impressive was his definition of the ancient conception of space and time.'
