-- John Barton in Times Literary Supplement
"I do not think there is now a better guide to early Judaism than
The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism. . . . Opens a door into a
fascinating and compelling world of ideas, texts, and practices."
-- Booklist
"The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism is an outstanding
reference work that not only introduces this important era but also
serves as a status report for scholarly activity in this area over
the past few decades." -- Trinity Journal
"It is difficult to overstate how impressive the volume is in terms
of scope, quality of scholarship, and number of high-level
contributors. . . . The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism is
bound to be a classic reference text for the next generation. It is
more than worth its weight in gold -- which, given the bulky nature
of the book, is quite considerable!"
