Book Description
To study the Old Testament is to embark on a daunting expedition for today's students, most of whom have little or no prior knowledge of the Bible or biblical studies. Unlike typical introductory textbooks that encourage memorization, however, this book adopts an inductive approach that teaches students to think critically about the Bible. The included CD-ROM contains guided exercises, charts, maps, bibliographies of book, video, and internet resources, review questions and self-tests, lists of important terms, a glossary, links to ancient primary texts that offer striking parallels to the Bible, and concise but substantive discussions of topics that range from explorations of ongoing biblical research to fascinating points of contact between biblical texts and contemporary issues.
