5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introductory Book to Exodus
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013

Bruckner writes his commentary by weaving Scripture into the actual commentary so you always know where you are. 5 Stars because he doesn't get 'technical' or drawn off into the weeds over certain things that others do (early or late exodus, etc.). Written from a conservative point of view, Bruckner draws you into the story and the epic events where you sense that you are right in the middle of it.

D. E WARD
5.0 out of 5 stars Rich in Theological Insight
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2013
I chose this commentary to read in conjunction with our Bible Study group's discussion of the book of Exodus, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Part of a series (formerly called the New International Biblical Commentary) of relatively short general audience Christian commentaries, it concentrates on the literary and theological meaning of the text in its final form.

James Bruckner, the author, could be called a "second generation" commentator on Exodus, since Terence Fretheim, his thesis advisor, has also written an Exodus commentary. Not surprisingly, this commentary reflects Fretheim's emphasis on the creational nature of biblical ethics. It also includes insights from Bruckner's research on "implied law" in the pre-Sinai narratives of Genesis and Exodus.

Bruckner interacts with a number of other commentators, too, both Christian (Durham, Brueggemann, Childs, Enns) and Jewish (Houtman, Sarna, Jacob, Plaut, Nechama Leibowitz).

Highlights of the commentary for me included:

1) The explanation of Exodus 2:12. When Moses "saw that there was no man," he was concerned for the sake of justice, as in Isa 59:15-16, rather than hoping to get away with murder.

2) The discussion of God's patience and wisdom in teaching the Israelites in Exodus 16.

3) The sections on the meaning of each of the ten commandments, with the comments on the tenth commandment being especially insightful.

4) The helpful discussion of the Book of the Covenant (Exod 20-23), including comparisons with other Ancient Near Eastern legal codes. (Here Bruckner draws upon the work of Joe M. Sprinkle.)

5) The six-page section on the revelation of God's merciful character in Exodus 34:6-7.

6) Insightful comments on the theological lessons from the tabernacle instructions and their execution.

My favorite commentary in the Understanding the Bible Series is the Deuteronomy volume by Christopher Wright. This Exodus volume is also excellent.

Scholarly and well researched, with some good summary sections. Takes into account recent critical appraisal but (quote from foreword) "marries probing, reflective interpretation of the text to loyal Biblical devotion and warm Christian affection". 348pp
