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.[1] Each volume examines the genre, structure, setting, and intention associated with biblical texts.[2][3] Henry T. C. Sun calls it "the only serious and sustained discussion of Old Testament form criticism available in English."[4]
