New English Commentary on Bible Books and Paris Siege Diary
The review applauds the first instalment of a two volume English Bible commentary, noting its careful scholarship, concise notes, and cautious stance on Mosaic authorship. It also critiques early Genesis judgments and Bishop Ely's approach, while praising Canon Cook and Espin for Egyptology and Leviticus insights. A second notice covers Shut up in Paris, a Paris siege diary by Nathan Sheppard, valued for historical detail though judged with mixed opinions on French character and conduct.
