Description: "The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible advances the assumption that the Nicene creedal tradition, in all its diversity, provides the proper basis for the interpretation of the Bible as Christian scripture. The series volumes, written by leading theologians, encourage readers to extend the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition to our day. This addition to the well-received series offers a theological exegesis of Esther and Daniel"--Publisher description.
