Enter the classroom of John Goldingay, one of today's premier
biblical interpreters, and begin the adventure of exploring the
Bible's First Testament. Some Old Testament introductions tell you
what you could have seen for yourself. They might recount in detail
what other scholars have said, and then tell you what you should
think about it. But with refreshing directness, John Goldingay
outfits you with basic knowledge, points out the main approaches,
outlines the primary issues and then sets you loose to explore the
terrain for yourself. Traverse the grand tapestry of the Torah.
Discern the art and grain of biblical narrative. Listen to the
cries, confessions and cadences of the Psalms. Probe the varied
textures of wisdom literature. And ponder the prophets in the
darkening nightmare of exile and the distant light of hope. More
workbook than handbook, this introduction to the Old Testament is
rooted in decades of tried and proven teaching. Goldingay displays
a robust confidence in the truthfulness of Scripture combined with
a refreshing trust in the reader's ability to grapple responsibly
with the Old Testament. Even when the text hits you sideways,
Goldingay encourages you not to squirm or run, but to grab hold and
go deeper. Under his expert guidance the cordon between faith and
criticism swings open into theological and spiritual insight.
