Book excerpt: Pastors and students who want a one-volume commentary to complement the New Interpreter's Study Bible will be pleased to find this resource the quality of scholarship that is a hallmark of other New Interpreter's Bible resources. The portability, accessibility, and affordability of the one-volume commentary will appeal to professors and students as well as lay persons and pastors. The One-Volume commentary replaces the original Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary on the Bible, Charles Laymon, ed. (Abingdon Press, 1971), which went through its fifteenth printing in 1994. Like the original, the new volume will contain articles on all the books of the Bible, including the Apocrypha, as well as numerous general articles on biblical interpretation, geographical and historical setting, literary criticism, religion, text, canon, translation, Bible and preaching/teaching, with bibliographies for each article. Extra value includes: chronology/timeline, table of measures, and table of money, a subject index, and will be one of the only one-volume commentaries on the market to contain a scripture index. A dust jacket is included. This one-volume commentary was specifically requested by seminaries in the United Methodist Church who have agreed to coordinate or standardize the curriculum for the Local Pastors' Schools. Attendees of the Local Pastors' School are trained, over a five-year period, to serve in thousands of small churches. The seminaries have determined that one part of the curriculum is to be a New Interpreter's Bible line of books: these include the Study Bible (already published), a One-volume Commentary (recently published), and an Atlas (to be proposed). Presbyterians and Baptists also have bi-vocational pastors who use similar tools, so that these groups will benefit from the development of this New Interpreter's Bible One-Volume Commentary. Old Testament Editor: Dr. David L. Petersen, Professor of Old Testament Professor Petersen is a distinguished Old Testament scholar. His current research focuses on the book of Genesis and on prophetic literature. During 2004, Petersen served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature.
