Reviews

[Charlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Broadus wrote at that enviable moment in American history when specialized education had added considerably to the available store of knowledge but had not fragmented academia into insular niches. Thus, we get a learned commentary by an able classicist, master pulpiteer, and talented pedagogue. Limited in its current technical usefulness, but a treat nonetheless.

[Charles Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great work but it is painful to read. The print version typeface is so small it's absurd.
As for the book, Broadus' classic work should still stand as a monument of solid biblical scholarship.
