Description
This second edition of “An Introduction to the Old Testament” integrates recent developments in Old Testament scholarship and offers unique features that set it apart from other introductory texts:
- Committed to a theologically evangelical perspective.
- Emphasizes “special introduction”—the study of individual books.
- Interacts in an irenic spirit with the historical-critical method.
- Highlights points of research history and representative scholars without exhaustive treatment of past scholarship.
- Explores the meaning of each book, both in isolation and within a canonical context.
- Probes the meaning of each book in the setting of its culture.
Including callouts, charts, and graphs, this book is crafted with an eye toward understanding the nature of Old Testament historiography. It is perfect for seminary students, professors, Bible teachers, ministry leaders, and anyone seeking an in-depth and balanced approach to Old Testament study.
