Rezension zu „Oxford Quick Reference / The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations by Subject “
Review from previous edition It draws on a broad spectrum of critical scholarship to provide an authoritative guide to reading the books of the Bible, and is likely to dominate this section of the market for a long time to come... It puts the resources of scholarship at the disposal of a wide readership... students will derive excellent guidance from it. Those who have primarily an interest in the Bible as literature will find it a source of new insights. Preachers, teachers and pastors will find it enormously helpful. This commentary is a milestone in biblical scholarship. The editors deserve our thanks and congratulations - and a wide readership. |s Expository Times, June 2002
