Product Details
From the preface:
"The study of the Hebrew Bible is in ferment and undergoing rapid change. This book attempts to orient the reader to a critical understanding of the Hebrew Bible and to the current state of biblical studies asd an intellectual and and sociocultural practice. It underlines the expanding range of choices in methods of biblical study now available, a range far wider than at any time in the long history of biblical interpretation."

Praise for the Print Edition
" ...A monumental volume, combining the very latest approaches to the ancient text with encyclopedic knowledge of the older methods.... One of Gottwald's most helpful tools is a series of charts and tables that add enormously to the value of the text. The next time I teach an introduction to the Hebrew Bible, I will without a doubt turn to Gottwald for my text."
— John C. Holbert, Perkins Journal
" ...This book is perhaps the best general introduction to the mainstream of current critical study of the Hebrew Bible on the market.... At points the discussion is little short of brilliant. Gottwald has made an immense contribution to modern biblical scholarship. A generation of students will be in his debt for pulling it all together...."
— Duane L. Christensen, American Baptist Seminary of the West and Graduate Theological Union
" ...A significant survey of the OT, which combines the usual literary and theological evaluation with the social-historical approach.... The structure and format is excellent for students. Gottwald's work will become a standard text in OT research for years to come."
— Robert Gnuse, Loyola University
"Fair...balanced...judicious. [This volume] would make a good, balanced introduction for college and university students, and a useful reference work for scholars."
— J. J. M. Roberts, Theology Today
