I hope this is not too far off topic. I am doing some research on Exodus and 
I would like to know whether Umberto Cassuto's commentary on Exodus is 
considered dated?

How well is his work accepted by conservative Jews?

Thank you in advance for you help.
Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy

Well he died in the late 40's but his work wasn't trendy even when it was
published. Some of the trendy biblical studies stuff I see turning up in
remainders stores is dated before the ink is dry but Cassuto remains in
print for half a century. Someone must be reading him.
