Written by two leading Old Testament scholars and widely used
throughout the world, Davies and Rogerson's The Old Testament World
describes the historical and cultural setting in which the Old
Testament was written and explains the major genres of literature
that it contains. Ideally suited for college-level introductory
classes, it illuminates the literature of the Old Testament by
showing how it was shaped by the events, social structures, and
religious and intellectual ideas of the ancient civilizations in
which it was produced. Unlike most introductions, it goes beyond
traditional formats and reflects the vast and significant changes
that our understanding of the Old Testament has undergone in the
recent decades. Rather than using a conventional
canonical-theological approach, the book presents the Old Testament
as a monumental cultural achievement. Now thoroughly revised and
updated to reflect the many developments of recent years, it is
arranged according to major topics for study, followed by sections
that introduce the major divisions of the text. Illustrated with
pictures, maps, and charts.
