Reviews
a fine entry in the genre ... Students will come away from this book knowing the basic plots, structure, and contents of the books of the Old Testament. Intended as a textbook, this book will also serve well as a secondary resource tool ... Recommended. * J. W. Wright, CHOICE *
This introduction to the Old Testament is a fine achievement; it could make an effective textbook for Christian colleges and seminaries and a useful reference work in other contexts. * John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary, Review of Biblical Literature *
Any author who attempts to write a theological introduction to the OT in the space of 388 pages takes on a herculean task. H. acquits himself well....H. has turned out a very commendable book for students * Norman S. Wilson, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *
Hamilton's introduction is a foremost accomplishment. It will maintain a long life as a stellar means of comprehending the OT. * Thomas H. Olbricht, Restoration Quarterly *
I highly recommend this text to pastors, Sunday School teachers, and interested laypersons who endeavor to read the Old Testament in its entirety, and to teach and preach from the Old Testament as well. * Joseph A. Deering, Reading Religion *
