The Old Testament is part of the canon of Christian Scripture and,
as such, has continuing significance for the church. However, the
writings are set within a different historical era, a different
culture and a different religious context. To understand the Old
Testament in a meaningful way, it must be read against its
historical, cultural and theological background. Here, Robin
Routledge enables readers to engage with the text. He discusses: -
date, authorship, the writers' intention and purpose, and
significant textual issues - key scholarly approaches to the text,
including historical-critical and literary approaches To help us
comprehend and interpret the Old Testament, and so apply it to
current belief and praxis, Routledge includes an overview of
exegetical and hermeneutical approaches. He also offers some
guidance through the maze of new treatments and terminology. The
volume provides specific introductions to the sections and books of
the Old Testament, following the canonical order of the Hebrew
text. In addition, Routledge notes key distinctive issues and
points to sources for further study. The author's hope is that this
volume will not only aid students but will also benefit others who
want to take the Old Testament seriously, and to apply its message
to the life and ministry of the church today. 'Scholarly and lucid,
Old Testament Introduction is designed especially for those who
want to understand how to read the Old Testament as Christian
Scripture, while doing justice to its nuances and enormous
diversity. I commend it warmly.' Gordon McConville, Professor of
Old Testament Theology, University of Gloucestershire
