David Hinson's 'Theology of the Old Testament' is the third and final volume of his Old Testament Introduction. Since it was first published, it has become widely used and appreciated. This new edition is thoroughly revised and updated to take account of developments in biblical scholarship and changes in the modern world. 'Theology of the Old Testament' reminds us that all that happened in Old Testament was a preparation for Christ, and shows how the study of Old Testament theology helps us to understand the New Testament more clearly and benefit more fully from God's revelation. The text includes topics for discussion and study questions.

The first part of a three-part introduction to the Old Testament offers an account of the history of Jews and their emerging consciousness as the People of God. Topics covered include: the Patriarchs and the beginnings of history; the Exodus; the 12 tribes; the first Kings; the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah; and chapters on the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman empires. It also includes maps, time charts, illustrations and suggestions for further discussion and study.
