Reviews

This handbook is an invaluable aid to anyone working closely and critically with the Hebrew text. -- John R. Barker -- The Bible Today
Qoheleth is no mere analytical key; it is a linguistic commentary which explains and elucidates the Hebrew text in order to provide a solid foundation for exegetical work and theological reflection. -- Eric J. Tully -- Books at a Glance
The handbook will be very useful for students as (almost) every verb is parsed, and all readers will be forced to consider the importance of word order in every verse. The authors have presented a welcome addition to the Baylor Handbook on the Hebrew Bible series. -- Stephen J. Bennett -- Catholic Bible Quarterly
