Description
The purpose of studying the Old Testament is to understand God and his redemptive work more fully. However, this goal is complicated by the fact that it was transmitted through a very different language and culture from our own. A Survey of the Old Testament provides an indispensable guide for undergraduate students and other readers by exploring the literary, historical, and theological issues behind the Old Testament and its various books. For each Old Testament book, the Survey addresses background information, purpose, message, structure, and major themes. Chapters introducing each major section of the Old Testament are included, as are chapters dealing with issues of interpretation, geography, archaeology, history, formation of the Old Testament canon, and the Old Testament's relationship to the New Testament. The text is enhanced throughout by maps, photos, timelines, and charts. This full-color third edition of a widely acclaimed textbook has been expanded and redesigned in both text and graphical elements, making it even more beneficial.

Summary: "Excellent Bible Study Tool"
This is a great tool for those who are trying to understand the whole scope of the Bible. It really helps to see how the OT is put together chronologically.

Summary: "A step up."
My prof. changed editions mid course (O.T. 1 to O.T. 2). This edition is certainly more enjoyable to read than previous editions, with relevant, valuable, and interesting photos/graphics. I takes an academic work and makes it more palatable to most any serious adult believer without compromising academic quality. This is not one of those books that will only be read by people who "had to read it for a class".

Summary: "This isn't the text book"
i typed in the isbn code for the textbook of this pamphlet. instead i received a brochure. what i thought was a killer deal on a textbook for class, turned out a waste of $10. now i'm left making deals and bargaining to read a buddies' textbook. thank you for inconvenience.
