About this ebook
Following on the heels of the successful New Testament for Everyone commentaries by N. T. Wright, John Goldingay, an internationally respected Old Testament scholar, authors this ambitious Old Testament for Everyone series.

Perfect for daily devotions, Sunday school preparation, or brief visits with the Bible, the Old Testament for Everyone series is an excellent resource for the modern reader. This third volume in Goldingay's series presents a rich overview of the action-packed book of Exodus and is an excellent guide to Jewish law as presented in the book of Leviticus.

Reviews for Exodus and Leviticus for Everyone
6 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The commentary is excellent, but CAUTION: several of the books in this series – including all of the Pentateuch except for Genesis – are abridged in their translations. The Prophets, Psalms, and Wisdom literature seem complete, the abridgement being mainly in the historical books; but I would have appreciated it if this were advertised. It's still worth buying the entire set, but I am knocking down from 5***** on abridged volumes for that reason.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found this excellent as a companion to work through Exodus and Leviticus in my daily reading. Goldiingay’s translation shed fresh light on the text, and his comments and insights were really helpful. He managed communicate scholarly insights in a very accessible way. My only slight negative would be that, once or twice the comments were slightly contrived as though he had tweeted a certain amount every day to meet a deadline and had to come up with something to say. Having said that, some of his insights in Leviticus were profound and helped me significantly during a really dark time.
