"Among books of its kind, it is difficult to think of another so good as this Survey. The authors, as enlightened conservatives, do not ignore problems in the historical, literary or ethical spheres. Where no
certain solution is discernible, they say so; they do not cut corners or impose conclusions dogmatically where this is not warranted by the evidence. The bibliographical information is up-to-date and helpful, and not confined to one school of thought. The work can be recommended with confidence, especially to readers who share the authors' commitment to the inspiration and authority of Holy Scrip-
ture."
F. F. BRUCE
"With the publication of OLD TESTAMENT SURVEY, college and seminary professors at last have access to a true survey a volume that presents and evaluates from an evangelical perspective the
materials of Scripture in the context of current scholarly research. Historical backgrounds, literary structures, and the theological purposes of the text are set forth with integrity and clarity. "OLD TESTAMENT SURVEY is sound and reverent scholarship, clearly set forth in categories any university student can follow. Whether this book is employed as a text for college or seminary classes, or read on its own as a preparation for future study of the Old Testament, it is destined to become the standard resource for this generation of students. Both teacher and student are deeply indebted to the authors for producing a volume that directly responds to a widely felt need."
