The Books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Lamentations: The Five Scrolls, Hardback Book

The Books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Lamentations: The Five Scrolls Hardback

Part of the Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the Old Testament series

Hardback

Description

The five Old Testament books dealt with in this volume of the Commentary occupied a special place in Hebrew tradition as selected readings for major festivals and were accordingly brought together in Hebrew manuscripts to form a group of five scrolls.

The books of The Five Scrolls vary greatly; debate about their holiness and authority is recorded from the second century AD onwards, and they pose many problems of interpretation today.
