Summary of An Introduction to the Old Testament
Built on decades of studying and teaching the Old Testament, this introduction is unusual in setting out background information, noting interpretative possibilities, raising questions and suggesting approaches. It operates more like a workbook, with the aim of encouraging students to investigate the Old Testament, both critically and prayerfully, for themselves.
Press Reviews
The book is excellent for Readers in training to develop an appropriately respectful understanding of Jewish Scriptures.
A key element is that this Introduction builds in points where students are asked to read the text, with various diagnostic questions to help them do so e?ectively. Goldingay has also collected a range of web resources to support this book, and is adding to them. Although there is little interaction with other scholars, Goldingay does provide some suggestions on additional reading so students can also move from their encounter with the text to an encounter with scholarship. So, what is an Old Testament Introduction? In this case, it is a readable work which encourages students to read it – in short, they are introduced. Indeed, well introduced.
The best way to describe this book is to call it an immensely rich quarry of easy to access tools for the Hebrew Bible Student. There is no doubt that this comprehensive and easy to access introduction to the Old Testament will find a grateful readership among undergraduate students in particular.
