Great Book December 27, 2008
This is one of the best written books for learning about the OT. I currently attend the university where the guy who wrote the book teaches on the OT. He is full of wisdom and is very knowledgeable about the OT. A Very reliable book.
Discovering The Old Testament: Story & Faith - review September 8, 2008
An amazing read! Was more that just a 30,000 foot view of the Old Testament. The level of summary of each O/T Book was very adequate and the historical, cultural, acrcheology & theological short insights that were added in each chapter, made this journey well worth the read. An excellent college level text book!

Hebraic Roots nourish Christian tree: Friendly Scholarship September 25, 2003
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book delivers sound conservative scholarship that integrates application. The authors integrate the biblical information with helpful sidebars in the categories of Interpretive/hermeneutical, Theological, Historical, Cultural, and Archaelogical.For example, on page 226, there is an excellent and concise explanation of the reason for mixed marriages. It explains the problem of syncretism that eroded Israel's practice of monotheism. It then offers practical advice for marriage today. This work is a landmark work in Old Testament Survey that would be helpful to all students of the Hebrew Scriptures. It would benefit students and instructors alike.
