I refuse to try to show how clever I am, but when someone said that most scholars buy into the documentary hypothesis, I had to laugh. This isn't forty years ago and only liberal scholars and closet liberals buy into it now. I won't boor you with scholar's names, but many of the current conservatives have refuted this. You find it in scholar's books and classroom whose scholars have locked theirselves up for fifty years.I bought this commentary for a college library. It is well written and provides a simple to understand interpretation of the whole Bible. If you just want a one book commentary, this is one of the best. Simple as that.
