Very affordable and therefore an excellent option for an introductory work. The hardcover Edition of Handbook on the Wisdom Books and Psalms is from 2005 (so far that's the only volume I've been reading (in Logos of course). If this set would have been more recent I would have given it five stars. Many would say it doesn't have to be newer, but note that the ENTIRE Dead Sea Scroll finds have not been available for more than maybe 15 years - scholars have only gradually got access to the text. The first text that was published (and translated: Jerusalem Bible and Revised Standard Version) was Isaiah. I have also the Princeton Symposium on the Dead Sea Scrolls, pre-pub price was $99.95. Both bought on pre-pub. The pre-pub price for Handbook on the Old Testament Series (4 vols.) was $84.95. Besides commentaries (Hermeneia, Believer's Church Bible Commentary Proverbs), I have The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Books of the Bible. But other than this I don't have much else on the OT, just a few small-group homiletic volumes by Wiersbe (btw the latter can be bought cheap from Christianbooks). Actually I'm pretty content! (I will be taking two classes on the OT that complement each other a little bit, one in a Protestant university, one in a Catholic, and I don't think I will have to buy more, just the mandatory books.) For a Bible dictionary I use the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, I have it both as printed matter (bought at a sale but the postage was very high because it had to ship overseas) and as a Logos pre-pub order, *****!
