A 1995 edition is available at: http://www.amazon.com/
This is Volume 1 of 7. Not quite sure what to say. A Jewish convert and scholar, Presbyterian-turned Church of England. Not sure if to recommend it or not (having read it already...perhaps three times). But, will rework and review. It's a narrative approach, not an exegetical or technical work. Well, OK, he certainly must be read. I would rather recommend Mr. (Rev.) S.G. De Graaf's Promise and Deliverance, Vols.1-4. But, back to Mr. Edersheim.
