Quiet Voices

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Vic Matthews is one of the most fertile minds in contemporary biblical scholarship. His capacity to write clearly on the topic of silence in the biblical sources is an outstanding example. Both seasoned scholars and ordinary readers can readily comprehend the richness of the meaning he derives from his use of anthropology to enlighten the biblical texts, how man, woman, and the deity, too, were viewed in the Old Testament in down-to-earth terms. The book's sophistication is of a high order and relayed with a lightness of touch that at every turn makes for stimulating reading.”
