The purpose of studying the Old Testament is to understand God and his redemptive work more fully. However, this goal is complicated by the fact that the Old Testament was transmitted through a very different language and culture from our own. A Survey of the Old Testament addresses the background information, purpose, message, structure, and major themes of the Old Testament to help readers understand its meaning and relevance.
Chapters introducing each major section of the Old Testament are included, as are chapters dealing with issues of interpretation, hermeneutics, theology, geography, archaeology, history, the formation of the Old Testament canon, and the Old Testament's relationship to the New Testament.
The fourth edition features a renewed focus on purpose, theology, and message while also providing a more succinct textbook less intimidating to students. Additional updates include:
- Full-color maps
- Photos
- Timelines
- Charts
Trusted by multiple generations of scholars, the fourth edition of this widely acclaimed textbook continues to be a useful and readable tool for students, self-learners, ministers, and scholars who wish to better understand God's work through the Old Testament.
