Sarna's commentaries are astonishing in depth, scope and clarity. The author has a gift for taking complex ideas and expressing them in a coherent way. His thinking is supremely logical. His comments are never verbose and penetrate to the very issue at hand. Almost every sentence gives one something to think about. Sarna treats the text in a reverential manner and is disinclined to explain away difficulties (like miracles). The plagues for instance are treated as having occurred historically. Attention is paid to the historical and cultural background of the text. I also benefited from the engagement with Rabbinic interpretation which provides an added dimension of depth to the story.

Sarna's commentaries are astonishing in depth, scope and clarity. The author has a gift for taking complex ideas and expressing them in a coherent way. His thinking is supremely logical. His comments are never verbose and penetrate to the very issue at hand. Almost every sentence gives one something to think about. Sarna treats the text in a reverential manner and is disinclined to explain away difficulties (like miracles). The plagues for instance are treated as having occurred historically. Attention is paid to the historical and cultural background of the text. I also benefited from the engagement with Rabbinic interpretation which provides an added dimension of depth to the story.
The highlight of the commentaries is the attention given to interpreting the complicated instructions for the building of the Tabernacle. Some commentaries treat the chapters after Exodus 20 with less seriousness than they treat 1-20. Sarna does not succumb to that temptation. He explains every detail and made this writer understand for the first time what these complex texts mean. Sarna proves that discipline and temperament are as important as learning.
