My second RBL review was sent out yesterday to all SBL members. For those who haven’t read it, here is the link:
The review is of Howard Wallace’s Psalms commentary in the Readings series (Sheffield Phoenix, 2009).
I look forward to your thoughts and comments!

That’s a well-written review, I thought. A good conventional structure, the praise for the book appears well-earned (I haven’t read it), the line of critique appropriate and interesting.
Thanks, Brooke. If you haven’t yet, read my other review on the Genesis Texts@Contexts volume. I also have two more forthcoming with RBL.
Yes, I think praise should be earned, not sought out simply because it needs to be included to fit the form-critical requirements of a good review.
At bottom, I DARE Ron Hendel to say my RBL reviews aren’t up to snuff!! ha!
