Good Intro to OT
This is a good intro to the Old Testament. I have seen more complicated books but I'm glad I started with this one.

This text is excellent for teaching Old Testament at the lower division undergraduate level. The reader embarks on a historical journey through Mediterranean culture. This breaks open the Hebrew scripture for a deeper level of understanding of what the text is about and how it can interface with our North American context. The text has important terms boldfaced indicating to the student these are important concepts for learning aas well as helpful boxes comparing biblical and other ancient texts, and study questions to stimulate thoughtful discussion of chapter sections.

This review is from: Old Testament: Text and Context (Hardcover)
A good book. This book is written to be a somewhat more pedestrian read, which is appreciated when diving into something as foreign to the average modern as the Old Testament is. This book has relevant pictures, and reads suprisingly quickly considering it is perhaps best described as an "academic" book. All in all, a highly recommended read for the new OT/Bible student.
