Introducing the Old Testament: A Historical, Literary, and Theological Survey

This lively, engaging introduction to the Old Testament is critical yet faith-friendly, lavishly illustrated, and accompanied by a variety of pedagogical aids. It serves as the Old Testament counterpart to Mark Allan Powell's successful *Introducing the New Testament* (over 105,000 copies sold).  
  
*Introducing the Old Testament* presents disputed and controversial issues fairly, neither dictating conclusions nor privileging skepticism over faith-based perspectives. The full-color interior is illustrated with photographs and fine art and includes sidebars, maps, a glossary, and further reading suggestions.
