No one familiar with the Bible needs to be told that it is a truly remarkable work. But it takes help to understand this ancient collection of diverse forms of literature written by different people across many centuries. The "Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible" is the finest, most up-to-date single-volume Bible handbook now available.

James D. G. Dunn and John Rogerson presents in nontechnical language the best of modern scholarship on each of the sixty-six canonical books of the Bible plus the eighteen apocryphal works.
