This undergraduate textbook provides an introduction to the Old Testament by drawing the reader into the subject, explaining that whilst it is a puzzling book, the many different ways to read it make it also a very exciting book.
Aimed at students with or without a religious background, the author explains challenging concepts in an accessible way, and encourages the reader to think independently and interact with the text by introducing questions and areas for reflection along the way. Covering all the core topics provided by a typical year one Old Testament course, this Study Guide could easily be used as a course textbook.
