ReviewsPraise for the first edition:"Arnold and Beyer have produced an exciting new survey of the Old Testament with the college student specifically in mind. They have masterfully designed their work with text and graphics in a way that will not only grip the student's attention but will guide students through the material with their expert touch. I enthusiastically recommend this volume to you."--Tremper Longman III, professor of Old Testament, Westmont College "The authors are commended for providing their readers with a lucid survey of the Old Testament. They cover a wide array of issues in an easy to read text. Complex issues receive a balanced treatment. The illustrations, sidebars, glossary, and study questions open up the relevance of the biblical text both in its ancient context and in our modern situation. A very useful volume."--Willem A. VanGemeren, professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages, Trinity International University "Baker has done extensive market research and come up with a pleasing and useful format for its 'Encountering Biblical Studies' series, including the use of auxiliary helps, such as an interactive CD-ROM, books of related readings, and teacher's guides. This particular volume is written in a clear and engaging style, and is generously graced with study questions, summaries, listing of key terms, suggestions for further reading, illustrations, charts, and maps. The college-level students for whom this is written will find that this is truly what it claims to be: a textbook aimed at them. It is not the generic, all-purpose work that is too often produced, aimed at all (college and seminary students, pastors, scholars, and interested laypeople) and succeeding at hitting very few. Arnold and Beyer are well-versed in their fields and they succeed at explicating the message of the Old Testament in clear, readable style. A fine, college-level survey that sets a high standard for all such surveys in the future."--David M. Howard, Jr., Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary "Encountering the Old Testament is packed with data, but is not cluttered. An abundance of visuals, including charts that clearly summarize complex issues, together with a most inviting format whet the appetite for study. Hardly could an inquisitive student ask for better guidance."--Elmer Martens, Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary"For college students who are encountering the Old Testament for the first time, this attractively produced textbook offers a clear and helpful orientation to the world and literature of the Old Testament. The full-color photographs and maps, as well as the user-friendly charts, sidebars, review aids, and interactive CD-ROM, combine to invite everyone who opens this book to begin reading it immediately--a refreshing improvement over the standard textbook fare!"--Richard Schultz, Wheaton College

Good for Bible Study
The pastor I work with had this book as a text book in seminary. I was looking through it one day and decided I wanted it for my Bible study collection. It has good maps of the territories of the Old Testament and a summary of historical information that is certainly helpful while reading through the Bible.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
