This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.
Peake's Commentary makes many textual corrections, usually siding with the LXX. An explanation of the meaning and theme of each chapter is given, which is very useful. One thing that I don't like is his adherence to the "Heilgsechicte" (salvation history) theory on the book of Genesis. Overall, however, this is an excellent, very original work. He does not try to placate the church or defend old erroneous interpretations. On the negative side the print is too small and the sentences are sometimes too long and the English somewhat outdated such as the spelling of "aetiological".
