It offers verse-by-verse explanation of every book of the Bible by the world's leading biblical scholars. From its inception, OBC has been designed as a completely non-denominational commentary, carefully written and edited to provide the best scholarship in a readable style for readers from all different faith backgrounds. It uses the traditional historical-critical method to search for the original meaning of the texts, but also brings in new perspectives and insights - literary, sociological, and cultural - to bring out the expanding meanings of these ancient writings and stimulate new discussion and further enquiry. Newly issued in a series of part volumes, the OBC is now available in an affordable and portable format for the commentaries to the books of the Apocrypha. Includes a general introduction to using the Commentary, in addition to an introduction to study of the Apocrypha.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Martin Goodman, John Barton (Editor), John Muddiman (Editor)</note> <subject> <topic>Bible - AT - Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Apocryphal books (Old Testament)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">229.7</classification> <classification authority="ddc">G653-M38</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780199650811</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14905/72.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14905/72.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071422.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
