Rich rewards await readers who dig deep into the historical books of the Old Testament. Incredible events, amazing love stories, larger-than-life personalities, and deep theological themes are just some of the treasures found in Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther.

These books tell the story of the nation of Israel and the God who loves her, punishes her, and always brings this recalcitrant people back to Himself. It is really the story of all of us.

David M. Howard Jr. provides an in-depth introduction to the Old Testament historical books, focusing first on the overarching themes of historical narrative in general. He then turns his attention to each book, considering topics like:

Authorship and date
Place in the canon
Historical and cultural context
Theology of the book
Special issues pertaining to the book

From the conquest of Canaan to the fall of Jerusalem, from war to peace and back to war, from kings and queens to farmers and housewives—David Howard covers it all in this invaluable introduction to the Old Testament historical books.

NO KINDLE PAGE NUMBERS!!!

ByJacob Roggeroon September 14, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I wasn't about to give this book a low rating just because I am completely unsatisfied with the kindle version. I was told this book had real page numbers to reference the locations but it doesn't. You can buy the same book on Google Play with real corresponding page numbers which are essential as most people will need to reference this book, or read assigned pages (for classes). When I spoke with Amazon they were completely unhelpful (a first) telling me that while the book was issued with real page numbers, the kindle version does not support this. This was true of all the text books I bought this semester from Amazon. As great a company as they are this is simply unacceptable. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU NEED TO REFERENCE IT OR USE IT FOR CLASS.

That is pretty much true of every text book I have purchased over the last year for my kindle. Good bye Amazon, hello Google.
