The IVP Bible Background Commentary Quotes

“God’s process of revelation required that he condescend to us, that he accommodate our humanity, that he express himself in familiar language and metaphors. It should be no surprise then that many of the common elements of the culture of the day were adopted, at times adapted, at times totally converted or transformed, but nevertheless used to accomplish God’s purposes.”
― John H. Walton, The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament
