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. Each volume examines the genre, structure, setting, and intention associated with biblical texts. Henry T. C. Sun calls it "the only serious and sustained discussion of Old Testament form criticism available in English."
