Title: A handy reference for the study of Exodus
Product review: This 700+ page tome on Exodus was a treasure trove of knowledge. Stuart leaves no stone unturned and no issue unaddressed, and this is definitely a good work to consult for serious study of Exodus. Stuart has exceptional knowledge of Hebrew and is able to clearly explain several issues of translation and interpretation that may have been traditionally confusing to readers of Exodus.If this book has a weakness, it is a marked tendency to press the language of text towards a rigid literal meaning. There are places where it feels like Stuart is trying too hard to make the straightforward literal meaning of the text square with reality, even when the text is clearly being using a figure of speech or a metaphor.
