Old Testament 101

"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.
