Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

by Carl Friedrich Keil

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Reviews

[Wren N.]

Just to be clear, I'm not claiming to have read any of these in their entirety! But I have been using them off and on for about ten years, and they are an unmatched resource to have at hand.

[Keith Splawn]

Thorough, exacting, and precise.

I have used this commentary set a couple of times since I purchased it. Currently, I reference it for the study of the Judges that I am conducted with the kids and for study of The Song of Solomon/Proverbs that we do at night. I like it because the authors do a tremendous amount of work w/the Hebrew text also.

I have always wanted this set. I recently purchased it from a man in Texas.
This is a reference set on the Old Testament, I doubt that I will ever read the entire set.
However, it is a must for a Christian Library.
