This relatively brief, nontechnical introduction to the Old
Testament captures the dramatic development of the ancient
Israelite and early Jewish religious traditions, emphasizing the
importance of narrative and memory. By focusing on the Moses-Sinai
and David-Zion stories and on three major crises in the history of
Jerusalem--the capture of the city by David in the 10th century
BCE, its destruction by Babylon in 587 BCE, and its destruction by
Rome in 70 CE--Humphreys helps students appreciate the complex
interplay between the religious traditions and the political,
social, economic, military, and cultural factors that influenced
these traditions.
