A Guide to the Old Testament
This will lead adult beginners and tertiary students into a meeting with the Word of God in the Old Testament, instead of locking them into a closed, self-contained course on the history and religion of Israel.
All the explanations needed to read with understanding are provided - on authorship, composition, literary type, cultural influence, and relation to the New Testament, but the special emphasis is on theological themes. This book allows readers to move at their own pace, with or without a teacher. It is ideal for individual or group study, with maps, tables, exercises, glossary, three indexes and further study directions.
