Essays across the four major periods of Israel's history, taking the theological, literary, historical and archaeological dimensions of each era in turn. Read more.
The historical books are the part of the Old Testament preachers most often avoid, usually because the questions they raise are of four different kinds at once.
This collection of essays covers the four major periods of Israel's history and explores the theological, literary, historical and archaeological dimensions of each era. It is edited by Michael A. Grisanti, associate professor of Old Testament at The Master's Seminary, and David M. Howard Jr., and it is aimed at the student and pastor who must preach narrative without reducing it to moral lessons.
