1-2 Kings (Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries). By Gina Hens-Piazza. (Abingdon, 407 pp., $36.00 paperback.) Hens-Piazza brings a clear eye for drama and literary nuance to her study of the "history" of Israel's kings. In her hands, the text emerges as a collection of lively stories of intrigue, political jockeying and failed leadership in times of crisis. The commentary is beautifully written and offers accessible study of the text and addresses its theological and ethical implications for life today.
Selected by Kathleen M. O'Connor, who teaches Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.
