Kindle Customer: I got exactly what I payed for and couldn’t be happier! I needed this book for school and prices add up when you need to buy multiple required textbooks. I was pleased to receive a copy that’s in good condition for a discounted price.

Cole Mayhugh: Thorough, historically informed and theologically instructive. They offer you insights into the text that help you see it’s meaning more plainly and with a clarity that only comes from recognizing the structures, parallels, background and themes of the text.

I recommend 3 resources for OT studies that I believe should be a first-choice for anyone approaching it at a seminary level. I personally, am just a student of these things at my own home & have picked up a multitude of resources—these 3 stand tall.

1) Obviously this survey by Hill and Walton, they offer a contextual and formal introduction that is respectfully done.

2) A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the OT by Miles Van Pelt & staff — this Intro is theologically focused, which is sorely missed in most introductory studies today. An overemphasis on the historical can drown out the obvious truth floating at the surface of the entire Bible.

3) The Masters Seminary Old Testament introduction Lectures by Keith Essex, which can be found on YouTube. These are invaluable, fun and easy to consume from a pastor/scholar. I highly highly recommend them.

And if you have room for a...

P.F.: Reading this text for a course. Thought it would be dry but have been surprised by how fascinated I am by the material. It's a very well laid out book and has sparked in me a great appreciation for OT study. Reader is led to explore God's character and nature revealed in the Old Testament scriptures. A treasure hunt awaits!

Amazon Customer: Loved it...excellent, comprehensive read 🙂

Bret James Stewart: This book provides a nice introduction to the books of the Old Testament in an accessible way. To begin with, the cover art is attractive. In fact, the book abounds with colour pictures and charts that really help the beginner or even the mid-level student/reader to understand the historical and cultural elements of the O.T. The pictures at the beginning of the chapters, in particular, really bring the book in question to life with a photo of something pertinent to that book.

This is a survey text, so it does not go super in-depth about the individual books of the Bible, but it does provide a nice overview. It addresses things you might expect, such as canonicity, genre, authorship, and the other basic information about the texts. The authors have no problem admitting something is unknown or they view it as unknown due to the evidence. There is a glossary and an index, which is helpful. A summary and segue to Christological aspects of the New Testament is present as are two appendices, one about the critical methodologies and one regarding the composition of the Pentateuch.

The book is divided into parts corresponding with the layout of the Bible, which makes it easy...
