Reviews
"""Interpreters of 1 Samuel will welcome the release of this excellent commentary. It exhibits all of the qualities one has come to expect from Dr. Steinmann and the Concordia Commentary series. The author provides meticulous analysis of the Hebrew text, blended with useful exegetical and theological insights that reflect a deep respect for Holy Scripture as the inspired Word of God."" -Robert B. Chisholm, Jr., Chair and Senior Professor of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary ""The Book of 1 Samuel poses numerous challenges for readers, concerning, e.g., its text, unity, historicity, theology, and relation to the rest of the Bible. Dr. Steinmann's commentary offers readers facing such challenges a helpful guide and resource. In particular, Steinmann alerts readers to the textual complexities of the book with its often quite distinct ancient versions and enables them to understand how he went about making the textual and translational decisions that he did. Even more significantly, Steinmann lays out for pastors and all who look to the Bible as God's Word a robustly theological reading of 1 Samuel in relation to the overall message of both Christian Testaments. Readers of faith will not be left theologically hungry by Steinmann's work."" -Prof. Christopher Begg, Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. ""Whether he is analyzing Samuel's rhetoric or uncovering the motives of Saul or David, Dr. Steinmann offers a wealth of information and keen insight that prompts further thought, draws attention to intertextual connections, and highlights implications for today. Readers will find that this commentary refreshes their knowledge of Hebrew while assisting them on every page to understand, preach, and teach from 1 Samuel and to appreciate its portrayal of the Lord, ""who deals patiently and mercifully with sinners"" (p. 9)."" -Dorian G. Coover-Cox, Associate Professor of Old Testament Studies and Associate Editor for Bibliotheca Sacra, Dallas Theological Seminary"
