'These versions of the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, Jonah and the whale, King Solomon and the other great figures of the Bible were originally published for scholars in a massive seven-volume work with notes in nearly forty languages. In this shorter and simpler form, they remain what is probably the most distinguished work of Biblical scholarship ever produced in the United States.'
