Numbers Mark A. Awabdy BAKER COMMENTARY ON THE OLD TESTAMENT: PENTATEUCH Bill T. Arnold, series editor
This substantive and useful commentary on the book of Numbers explores the contemporary significance of this biblical book.
“The commentary excellently combines current research in America and Europe on the literary history of the book of Numbers with a theological interpretation of the biblical text that allows the Word of God to become recognizable in a multitude of voices in the text. The commentary is both critical and evangelical in the best sense of the word and an important aid to understanding the book of Numbers for teaching and preaching.” —ECKART OTTO, Ludwig-Maximilians- Universität in Munich (emeritus); University of Pretoria, South Africa “This is a great contribution to this important series. Awabdy’s enthusiasm for Numbers is infectious.” —JOHN A. COOK, Asbury Theological Seminary
