A comprehensive and accessible guide to the Hebrew Bible This book
brings together some of the world's most exciting scholars from
across a variety of disciplines to provide a concise and accessible
guide to the Hebrew Bible. It covers every major genre of book in
the Old Testament together with in-depth discussions of major
themes such as human nature, covenant, creation, ethics, ritual and
purity, sacred space, and monotheism. This authoritative overview
sets each book within its historical and cultural context in the
ancient Near East, paying special attention to its sociological
setting. It provides new insights into the reception of the books
and the different ways they have been studied, from
historical-critical enquiry to modern advocacy approaches such as
feminism and liberation theology. It also includes a guide to
biblical translations and textual criticism and helpful suggestions
for further reading. Featuring contributions from experts with
backgrounds in the Jewish and Christian faith traditions as well as
secular scholars in the humanities and social sciences, The Hebrew
Bible is the perfect starting place for anyone seeking a
user-friendly introduction to the Old Testament, and an invaluable
reference book for students and teachers.
