Comments:

Er wordt heelwat aandag gewy aan Skrif-met-Skrif-vergelyking en word die lyn na die Nuwe Testament uitdruklik deurgetrek. Such a revelation-historical lyne is not thickly drawn in Bybelkommentare and is definitely a winning point.
–P.P. Krüger, Department of Ou Testament Potchefstroomkampus, South Africa in In die Skriflig

'It has become a magnificent work - also in its execution - that is absolutely unique in the Dutch-speaking world.'
-Prof. Dr. W.J. Ouweneel, Ellipse
