Title: One volume many voices
Review: It is helpful to have perspective away from the northern hemisphere. This one volume gives me a view into the Africian culture of which I have a bit of experience. The brevity does not cripple the insight from the variety of authors. I like the constant reminder of the communal aspect of the ancient near east along with recognition of the rich heritage we have from previous generations. This is a welcome change to other commentaries with the words studied through the centuries.
