Helpful was his explanation of the literary use of apostrophe, making the case for this book's real purpose: "simply unfolding and unpacking what Yahweh's future role will mean for Edom, the nations, Zion and Israel."

Knowing Dr. Raabe's theology, surprised to see absence of theological application. However, possibly editorial constraints prevent their inclusion.

For the serious Bible student.

This book is a set of connected thoughtful chapters on
the seasons and years of pothole marshes - "Of Marshes
and Winter", "Of Marshes and Spring", etc., concluding with
"Of Marshes and Time" and "Of Marshes and Man".

Marsh environments change greatly from year to year;
vivid paragraphs of here-and-now description alternate
with meditations on past years and the ebb and flow of
life. Muskrats, hawks, mink, ducks and geese, shore birds,
owls, foxes, fish: Errington watched and tracked and
recorded their lives, and their deaths.

Errington's clean spare style is a pleasure, and Hochbaum's
pen-and-ink illustrations beautifully complement the text;
I particularly love one with a few flocks sharing a dawn sky
with the morning star.

Highly recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed
Aldo Leopold, Sigurd Olson, David Rains Wallace, or
Barry Lopez, and to waterfowl hunters, bird watchers --

Excellent adaptation of the original; however, not a slavish one -- plays the rivalry between Batman/Bruce and Superman/Clark for Lois Lane's affections a little more broadly (the visual differences between the animated and the comic versions of the scene in which Clark calls at Lois's apartment and Bruce is already there are Significant).

Harley Quinn's running feud with Luthor's bodyguard/chauffeur, Mercy, is one of the high points.

While it doesn't bring much new, it's a good counterpoint to the film it adapts in giving alternate, slightly more "adult" views on some things -- if you have one, you really need the other.
