"The Old Testament: An Introduction To The Hebrew Bible" is great. The book takes the reader/student on a thorough, thought-provoking and illuminating journey through the world that produced the Hebrew Bible and finally the texts themselves. For those wishing to explore the Old Testament from a historical/literary perspective, this textbook is the right choice. Highly recommended for those who have little or no background knowledge in Biblical Studies or Biblical Scholarship. Granted, the price is quite hefty for a new copy; however, you can't go wrong with a used copy. New or used it is money well spent.

I will be honest, we have not used this book in class, but what I have read from it on my own is good and informative and, I feel, has sound theology.

The book was totally water soaked-pages warped and falling out; other pages stuck together and mildewed. If I hadn't needed the book immediately for a class, I would have sent it back! The book should have been sent to the dump. I am very disappointed in the quality. I hope I can keep it together long enough to finish the class.
