This is a must have for any bible student. We must study the Ancient Near Eastern context to fully appreciate what is being conveyed by the Hebrew authors. However, I recommend getting the actual book. I got more out of just sitting down and reading it. It has great footnotes linking the reader to the corresponding passages in the Bible.
