"The emphasis on reception history makes this volume animportant complement to larger critical commentaries withinpersonal and research libraries that hold collections on theprophetic literature." (Religious StudiesReview, 1 September 2014)

"The uniqueness of this commentary series is that it isthe 'first to be devoted primarily to the reception historyof the Bible' and it is done in a clearly outlined, userfriendly, verse-by-verse commentary format ... This quick,illuminating display of the 'genealogy' ofinterpretations is a unique achievement ... useful to any readerinterested in biblical interpretation." (Reviews inReligion & Theology, 4 September 2013)

"It provides a fascinating journey of discovery and can beread, unlike most other commentaries, from cover tocover." (Relegere: Studies in Religion andReception, 1 May 2013)"What a marvelous treasure trove! Jin Hee Han and Richard J.Coggins have made these six prophets come alive by providing richdocumentation of their interpretation and impact from the ancienttranslations to contemporary media. This volume is a must for allstudents of these prophets--scholars, clergy, and lay peoplealike."
