Forms of the Old Testament Literature
Forms of the Old Testament Literature is a series of biblical commentaries published by Eerdmans. The first volume was Wisdom Literature:Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Canticles, Ecclesiastes, and Esther by Roland E. Murphy (1981). They were initially edited by Rolf Knierim and Gene M. Tucker; Marvin A. Sweeney took over from Tucker in 1997. The series focuses on a form-critical approach to the text.{{cite book|author1-last=Longman III|author1-first=Tremper|author1-link=Tremper Longman|title=Old Testament Commentary Survey|publisher=Baker Academic|date=1995|page=51}} Each volume examines the genre, structure, setting, and intention associated with biblical texts.{{cite book |last1=Taylor |first1=R.
