Volume 2 of the Mercer Commentary on the Bible (MCB, 1994), the fascicle edition, comprises commentaries on the so-called "historical" books of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, along with several appropriate articles from the Mercer Dictionary of the Bible (MDB, 1990; 5th corrected printing, August 1997). This convenient yet thorough text is for the classroom and for anyone who wishes to focus on the study of the Old Testament "historical" books. Other volumes in the series focus on other appropriate groups of canonical and deuterocanonical writings (Prophets, Torah, Gospels, and so forth -- see p. vii for list). Each volume includes the complete MCB commentaries on the focus texts and several relevant articles from MDB.
Industry Reviews
Praise for the Mercer Commentary and Dictionary It is easy to criticize a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible for what it does not say. The Mercer Commentary on the Bible should be praised for how much it does say. Having all this information...makes it especially useful. The contributors write clearly.... They write for the church, laity as well as clergy. I am sure I will refer to this commentary often.
The special contribution of [the Mercer Dictionary of the Bible] is its thorough, up-to-date scholarship and large amount of information offered in just a single, inexpensive volume. A truly balanced, thorough, and useful reference work for both academic and public libraries. Especially recommended for undergraduates.
