| Summary: | A colleague peered at the subtitle of this book, and enquired: ‘What other kind of commentary might there be, that is not oriented towards the text and its reader?’ And he has a point, although nowadays one understands what is meant. One of the strengths of this new commentary is that it takes seriously the challenge to construct the ‘implied reader’, with occasionally quite illuminating results. It is translated from the Swedish by the author, and occasionally, one must admit, it feels like it. The commentary is aimed at students of theology, pastors, and the ordinary person in the pew, which is perhaps just too wide a range, although it can certainly be safely put in the hands of first-year undergraduates studying theology. |
