The Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms series is tailored to the distinctives of Poetry and Wisdom literature. Features include:

• Emphasis on the message of the biblical book
• Special attention to poetic structure and literary devices
• Incisive comments based on the author’s translation of the Hebrew text
• Exegetical rigor, incorporating linguistic, historical, and canonical insights
• Closing reflections on each section that explore the text’s theological dimensions
• Textual notes that provide resources for advanced readers

In addition to the helpful translation and commentary, these volumes consider the theological implications of the wisdom texts as well as their literary, historical, and grammatical dimensions. Footnotes deal with many of the technical matters, allowing readers of varying interest and training levels to read and profit from the commentary and to engage the biblical text at an appropriate level. This built-in versatility has application for both pastors and teachers.
