There is no shortage of biblical commentaries in the world. They all fall somewhere across a wide spectrum between the great and the less than stellar. There are, however, the occasional commentaries that seem to rise effortlessly above the rest, and the H. C. Leupold Commentary Collection is a perfect example of just such commentaries. The Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly writes, "Our pastors knew [Dr. Leupold] through his exegetical writings on Old Testament Books, especially Genesis and Psalms. These two works are so frequently consulted at our Seminary that they have been placed on the reserve shelves of the library."
These benchmark commentaries by Leupold are for pastors, Bible teachers, leaders of Bible study groups and other serious students of the Scriptures. They give solid help in understanding selected books of the Old Testament. Each section in each biblical book is carefully examined and unfolded under the headings and subheadings of a unifying outline. Controversies and interpretational quandaries are faced distinctly and courageously and key words are are dissected and presented in a compelling fashion. Anyone looking to have these Old Testament texts explicated in a straight forward and conservative fashion will pick these volumes up with expectation and put them down completely satisfied.
