This edition is extremely helpful not just for the Bible reader who has an ear to the cultural context, but is a valuable asset to the theology student as well.

I looked at the publication date 1982 and immediately decided no.

I am preparing an order of service for my sisters funeral which I am going to conduct. I am unsure whether she had accepted Jesus prior to her death but knowing my life story, and that I am training for the Ministry, she made a request to her two sons that I conduct her funeral service. The eldest son was quick to say that both he and his wife were atheists. I referred him to my sister's and his mother's request suggesting that it was the principle issue. I understand they have accepted this. When I leave their home I will leave a copy of your article behind. Thankyou.
