VanderKam's masterful commentary on Jubilees is a landmark achievement. It has all the qualities we hope for in a scholarly commentary-and many more. The sheer scholarship is stunning. The research is painstaking. The coverage of the secondary literature is exhaustive and balanced. The textual analysis is careful and perceptive. And not least, the writing is cogent, accessible, and jargon- free. Certain to become the standard reference work, VanderKam's commentary is a fitting tribute to a scholar who has devoted a lifetime of study to one of the most fascinating, challenging, and influential documents from Judaism of the Second Temple period.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">James C.
