TL;DR: MILFORD as mentioned in this paper argues that the Christian who in himself or in his friends has suffered, has a special privilege of forgiveness towards those through whose fault he has suffered; and if we would help the atonement on behalf of Jews, or any others who have suffered more than ourselves, we shall begin by winning the right, through friendship, of sharing in their suffering and bearing it with them.
Abstract: requirements of justice. There is no need, and we have no right, to arrogate to ourselves the power to punish. Governments have the right and duty to prevent or check the progress of sin by the punishment of criminals. This is only effective if it can be done in such a way as to be manifestly just. Whether this can be done in the case of the \"war criminals\" is a matter for the lawyers. But if it can, according to the New Testament, it ought to be done; and a penitent criminal would wish it to be done to himself. The Christian as such must never fail in love towards anyone, not even towards the unrepentant criminal. He must always be longing for, and actively seeking, his good. The Christian, who in himself, or in his friends, has suffered, has a special privilege of forgiveness towards those through whose fault he has suffered. At least he will stop the spread of hatred; at the best, he will be instrumental in the conversion of the individual or his fellows in the sin. This is the redemptive love of God in action. If we want to be used in this way, God will show us, and show the Church, how and where it can be done. And if we would help the atonement on behalf of Jews, or any others who have suffered more than ourselves, we shall begin by winning the right, through friendship, of sharing in their suffering and bearing it with them. T. R. MILFORD.

TL;DR: The Art of Biblical Poetry as discussed by the authors is an indispensable tool for understanding the Bible and its poetry, as well as the use of Hebrew poetry in the Bible, and it is a companion to the seminal The Art of Bible Narrative.
Abstract: Three decades ago, renowned literary expert Robert Alter radically expanded the horizons of biblical scholarship by recasting the Bible as not only a human creation but a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In The Art of Biblical Poetry, his companion to the seminal The Art of Biblical Narrative, Alter takes his analysis beyond narrative craft to investigate the use of Hebrew poetry in the Bible. Updated with a new preface, myriad revisions, and passages from Alter's own critically acclaimed biblical translations, The Art of Biblical Poetry is an indispensable tool for understanding the Bible and its poetry.

TL;DR: The last of the commentaries to be rendered into English is as discussed by the authors, where the author succeeds in injecting a sense of dramatic excitement into his interpretations, without neglecting the scientific data provided by archaeological and philological research.
Abstract: This is the last of the commentaries to be rendered into English. Cassutos comments have a vivid quality seldom found in the exegetical writings of other Biblical expositors, who all too often prefer a jejune and lifeless approach to their subject. The author succeeds in injecting a sense of dramatic excitement into his interpretations. Without neglecting the scientific data provided by archaeological and philological research, he makes us conscious of the literary attributes of the Bible. Unlike the volumes dealing with the first two pericopes of Genesis, the present work does not separate the annotations from the Biblical text, but forms a continuous, unified commentary in which the Scriptural citations are interlinked with the exposition.
