I finished the book a while back and I reference it often.
Its really good. All of the book is formatted as long form responses with citations and solid academic reason without being inaccessible.
What jargon there is is fully explained in the intro or in the text.
It was in fact a wonderful resource for a modern interpretation for the bible and a resource on modern discourse around it if you're not religious like myself.
Its good enough that I keep a spare copy to give to friends if they're interested in interpretations of stories inspired by or from Dan.
