The Book of Exodus This became well known for Child's advocacy of "canonical criticism" - taking the canonical form of the text as authoritative and interpreting that text, rather than focusing attention on finding the "original" text behind any editing. Also, he was a leader in looking at the history of interpretation during a time when this was not very popular. His attention to these factors tails off in later chapters. The book is also becoming dated. |
|
Exodus Through the Centuries This series focuses on the history of interpretation, attempting to recover insights from the first 19 centuries of the Christian era, a period often neglected in commentaries. I have only briefly examined this boo, what I've seen looks very good. |
|
Exodus Another solid contribution from this series. |
|
Exodus 1-18 Another I haven't read, but need to. There were a series of influential medieval Jewish commentators that are only recently becoming available in English. |
|
Rashbam's Commentary on Exodus Solid contribution from this series. Does seem to be a little bogged down in the details to the determent of theological interpretation, but I haven't fully read it. |
|
Exodus A major contemporary scholar's efforts. |
