"The Interpreter's Bible is a guidebook to the city of the Bible. To some readers the Bible is a foreign city: they can find in this commentary, if it is properly used, a veritable 'open-sesame.' To other readers the Bible is a familiar place: even they may find by means of these volumes treasures which they never dreamed were just around the corner. The Bible has towers and streets and rivers, plazas and libraries and shrines, incalculably more historic and life giving than any London or New York. It amply justifies a multi volume work, involving twelve years of labor by over one hundred exegetes and expositors, with a commensurate outlay of money. Justifies? Nay, requires it in every century; for the Bible offers that enrichment and fellowship which other cities promise but fail to provide. It is more than a 'city of refuge;: it is the home of the 'beloved community' of God in Christ." ------- from How To Use The Interpreter's Bible (12 VOLUME SET).
