This is, indeed, one of the few theological books which it is a pure pleasure to read; nor need one, in the case of the present volume, add the qualifying remark that the homiletical element is somewhat unduly large. The scholarship too, is still as accurate as might be expected from Mr. Smith's excellent training."
The Independent: "It is in every way a notable book, and will even add to the now established reputation of its author among Old Testament students. The two volumes taken together constitute one of the most successful attempts ever made to expound an Old Testament book in the light of modern research. Mr. Smith has here shown something of the power of criticism to do constructive work, and has made it abundantly evident that some, at least, of the recent critical results may be used with most illuminating and inspiring effect."
