The Old Testament [PDF ebook] 
Its Background, Growth, and Content

Designed for readers who have no familiarity with the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, this introduction provides a complete overview of its development and its continuing interpretation. Each chapter follows the same four-part format: ‘Content’ summarizes the biblical book being treated; ‘Growth’ explains the process behind the book’s composition according to the most up-to-date scholarship; ‘Context’ describes the historical, literary, and social settings that were at work in the book’s production; and ‘Interpretation’ explores the various ways in which the book has been and continues to be understood in scholarly and religious communities. The Old Testament: Its Background, Growth, and Content is an ideal classroom resource because, even though it presents the biblical books in their canonical order, it can be read in any sequence to meet ​the needs and aims of a given course.
