Customer Reviews

Too much concern with form criticism.

I bought the first four volumes in 1967. I bought the Supplementary volume when it was first published. I use the set often. It has a wealth of knowledge. But, too often basic information about the meaning of the biblical text or biblical themes is short-changed in favor of devoting space to specualtions about form critical topics that yield no useful information. This is especially true in articles related to the Gospels. An index to help the user find discussions of particular Greek or Hebrew words could be helpful. Still, this is a classic resource and deservedly so.
