Martin Noth - Exodus: A Commentary

Ken McGuire

I know it has been a while since I have released one of my offerings. Part of it is because Logos has what I had been working on, and partly it has been life, and partly because this one took a while.

After the Brunner volumes, I looked for what else somewhat recent was on Internet Archive and found a couple old volumes from The Old Testament Library. After a bit of examination, I went with Martin Noth's commentary on Exodus... I can see how it was replaced a long time ago by the (IMHO better) work by Childs, but it is an example of mid-20th century continental biblical studies by an important figure.

I took the OCR from Internet Archive and added milestones to work as a Bible Commentary in Logos. I have also added some links, although I am sure that there are more links that can be added. I ask that anyone who adds these links to please share them here with the rest of us.

So, please make sure you compile this as a Bible Commentary so that you can get full functionality...

Good one, but personally I use http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41uDEy3GevL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg since it matches the other volumes..

Ah, I had missed that, but you are right.

Thank you very much for this.... It is sad that Logos is missing early volumes of the OTL  Genesis - A Commentary (Old Testament Library) Gerhard von Rad is another gem that would be nice to see, although I am not sure if that one is doable.

After downloading this file and a cover pic, I checked out Noth's Wikipedia article looking for a date for the book. After a brief perusal, I deleted both files. I think I would rather be thrown through a plate glass window than subject myself to the pointless misery of mind-numbing source/redaction dochype. That's all about as far from hearing YHWH's voice as is possible while being immersed in and scouring the Book for the tiniest irrelevant details. UGH!!!

Thanks for offering it, though. [Y]

Btw, maybe Logos can gain access to Noth's personal trove of source documents used to piece together the redactions we call the Bible?
