Umberto Cassuto - Cassuto As Bible Commentator

Cassuto As Bible Commentator

However, his most enduring legacy may be his commentaries on the Hebrew Bible. He wrote a Hebrew commentary on the Bible that is very popular in Israel. He wrote a more detailed commentary on Exodus and at the time of his death had completed chapters 1-11 of a more detailed commentary on Genesis; both of these latter commentaries are available in English and of course reflect his views on the Documentary Hypothesis and help strengthen his earlier arguments in their defense. It should be added that Cassuto was a remarkable stylist himself, and his works have a wit, grace and flow that make them very pleasurable and lucid reading.
