Walter Brueggemann "Burke Long has written a shrewd, discerning, and comprehensive study that will become an enduring point of reference for future study. It is evident that Long knows all the literature in a thorough and masterful way. He is, moreover, intentional about method, and works his method with power and insight. . . His book is a model for mobilizing detail into a sensible and illuminating whole." Simon J. De Vries "Burke O. Long completes his insightful exposition of ancient Israel's great history document in adding this volume on 2 Kings to his earlier volume on 1 Kings. As a masterful interpreter of the shape and intent of Scripture, he has few equals. More than anything else, his two volumes demonstrate the central importance of the innovative type of analysis promoted by the FOTL series within the expanding discipline of biblical exegesis."
