Title: Great set of books -- lousy price!
Review: TDOT is an excellent set of books that follows major word choices throughout their development in the Hebrew scriptures (e.g., berith "covenant," dabar "word," hokhmah "wisdom," etc.) Certainly, a biblical scholar, clergyman, or theologian would want to have all or part of this set in his or her library. Though some, like James Barr, criticized this type of "biblical theology," it is nonetheless a deeply scholarly work and useful for getting at etymologies, developments in usage, and relationships with surrounding Ancient Near Eastern cultures.What is not tolerable is the price being asked for this set. Over $1,000?! You gotta be kidding me! On Amazon alone, one could buy most, if not all, of TDOT for HALF that price (and, that's even including the ridiculously-high S/H fees people ask for on Amazon).Great set . . . but, PASS on paying so much for it.
