Overview

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.

No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.

The depth of analysis found in the International Critical Commentary (ICC) Series has yet to be surpassed in any commentary collection. One of the best features of this series is the extensive amount of background information given in each volume's introduction, where all of the analysis is provided before the actual commentary begins. Each volume packs more information into the introduction than you will often find in the body of most commentaries! Also consider that with the electronic versions of each volume, you will never need to leaf through the hundreds of pages in each volume searching for the passage you are studying.

Add the entire International Critical Commentary Series (59 Volumes) to your digital library.

Top Highlights

“Students of Amos are all but unanimous in agreeing that Amos delivered these sermons between 765 and 750 b.c.” (Page cii)

“The prophet’s real occupation was that of a ‘dresser of sycamores” (Page civ)

“This hostility towards Edom in particular seems to reflect the feelings of the exilic age;” (Page 198)

“Plead with your mother to put away her sin, lest I destroy her” (Page 225)

I shall have pleasure in recommending it to all students in our Seminary. This book fills, in the most favorable manner, a long-felt want for a good critical commentary on two of the most interesting books in the Old Testament.

—Lewis B. Paton, Professor of Hebrew, Hartford Theological Seminary

Nothing at all worthy of consideration has been passed by. The consequence is that when one carefully studies what has been brought together in this volume, either upon some passage of the two prophets treated, or upon some question of critical or antiquarian importance in the introductory portion of the volume, one feels that he has obtained an adequately exhaustive view of the subject.
