Title: instead buy van Seters' The Edited Bible
Product review: Unfortunately I had read van Seters' The Edited Bible before buying this book. I give this book 2 stars for "negative research", ie reading the principal articles in this book demonstrates the interminable complexity of 'European??' approaches to the history of the OT. van Seters' response (in this book) ends by recommending his own The Edited Bible (published the year after this book) which demonstrates his stellar scholarship, integrity, creativity, and readability. I enjoy the breadth of scholarship (and the quiet humor) in all his books.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
