Lamentations

The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries

by Delbert R. Hillers

The author of Lamentations mourns the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in the sixth century B.C. and wonders aloud if God has abandoned his people altogether. This thorough revision of Hillers' earlier Anchor Bible commentary on the Book of Lamentations incorporates new literary theories and information connected with the recent findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

[Matthew Richey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read three commentaries in full for my study of Lamentations and am bothered to give them all five stars because that feels over-generous, but, alas, they were all quite excellent.
