A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Job (International Critical Commentary Series | ICC)
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.
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.
Note: The Logos version of A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Job is a single-volume commentary, comprised of two parts: Part One (376 pages), being "Commentary", and Part Two (360 pages), being "Philological Notes".
