At a host of points it describes very lucidly the context of moral behaviour in the life of ancient Israel. In line with this it reveals very clearly the possibilities which life offered, and serves in a number of ways to illuminate the reasoning behind Israelite laws. All in all it impresses the reader with a recognition of the inextricable way in which culture, religion and morality are intertwined in the Old Testament. Only by attention to this can biblical morality and the biblical conception of man be understood.

This is the definitive book of Old Testament anthropology. I first saw this book referred to as a primary source by several scholarly works, and decided to read the book myself. This book does clearly explain the visually expressive way the Ancient Hebrews viewed the world. Nouns often represented an action: "hands" represented doing, "breath" represented living, "tongue" represented speaking, and "feet" represented moving.
Also Wolff creates a compelling argument that the Old Testament Hebrews literally saw the soul as an actual physical member deep within their bodies. "Sheol" and the afterlife, and many other topics are also discussed and explained. This book strongly influenced the way I read the entire Bible, because I feel more able to view the words from the perspective in which the words were originally written.

This book is basically a word study of the Hebrew terms in the OT that relate to anthropology (nephesh, basar, dam, etc.). At least a basic knowledge of the Hebrew vocabulary in the OT will be helpful.

Serious students need to own this one.

No one in the 21st century understands the Jewish context of the Bible (including the N.T.). If you read the Bible at all you need this book to understand what many things mean. It will clear up the idea of Soul Sheol Life etc... Get it, you will gain new insight into the life of all the Bible folks, even Jesus. So there you go! Get it!
