About this ebook
"[A] comprehensive and thorough [book] . . . serious students and Bible classes will value highly as they search the scriptures for their eternal meaning." — Kirkus Reviews
Here is a freshly updated edition of one of the most popular introductions to the history and literature of the Old Testament. The Old Testament Speaks offers a clear picture of the archaeological, geographical, historical, and linguistic dimensions of God's covenant with his people from the time of Abraham to the coming of the Messiah.
Samuel J. Schultz emphasizes the importance of letting the Scriptures tell their own stories. He makes selective use of the best and latest literature in Old Testament studies, and offers a balanced perspective. Schultz also appraises the impact of recent archaeological and historical findings on the understanding of key portions of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament Speaks contains all the relevant material—biblical and nonbiblical—necessary for classroom use or personal study of the Old Testament. Schultz provides outlines that reflect the historical background and summarize the contents of each biblical book, as well as charts and maps to help visualize the biblical narrative. He has also revised and updated the bibliographies at the end of each chapter.
"A book for the thoughtful layman, the preaching pastor, and the classroom instructor. . . . Dr. Schultz emphasizes the practical message of the text and carefully balances solid academics with spiritual insights." —Warren W. Wiersbe, author of With the Word: The Chapter by Chapter Bible Handbook
"A positive proclamation of the spirit and purpose of the Old Testament." — Christianity Today
