 About the book
The book is what the authors hope is a comprehensive and lively guide to the Old Testament for readers of all faiths and of none. It provides information covering history, archaeology, geography and textual interpretation, and explores major themes such as the nature of God, the covenant relationship between God and Israel, the historicity of the Old Testament. There are also chapters focusing on the different literary genres such as prophecy, law and wisdom literature. Along the way there are information boxes which explain technical terms and interesting facts and which provide short biographies of Old Testament characters. Questions for discussion and quotations from relevant scholars are also included in each section.
It is an ideal companion for students beginning their study of the Old Testament.
