Rolf Knierim and George Coats new commentary on "Numbers" is not only the latest volume in the respected FOTL series, it is also the first commentary to be written using the exegetical methods of the recently redesigned form-critical approach to the Old Testament literature.
In this much-anticipated book, the authors make clear what has traditionally been a difficult portion of Scripture by showing how form criticism sheds fresh light on the textbs structure, genre, setting, and intention. Following an extensive introduction to the historical and social background of Numbers, the bookbs commentary leads readers unit-by-unit through the text, highlighting the literary development of Numbers and the meaning that that work meant to convey to its audience.
