Reviews

"The other essays in the volume are equally interesting and equally well written. Rofé takes his readers down a well-lit path and shows them curiosities that are often overlooked by other passersby. This collection is highly recommended, though its learnedness and meticulous treatment of the various issues involved will be a little more than the casual or general reader will be able to absorb. It is a collection intended for experts." -Society of Biblical Literature/RBL, 04/2004

"The next four essays [essays 7-11] illustrate Rofé's exegetical depth and breath [sic]: interpreting the tenth commandment in light of four deuteronomic laws (19:14, 23:25, 23:26; 24:10-11)...It [the book] belongs in research libraries." -Religious Studies Review, 01/04
