The Old Testament by Coogan
Lucidly written by leading biblical scholars, this text serves as a unique and captivating guide to the Hebrew Scriptures. Employing the narrative chronology of the Bible itself and the history of the ancient Near East as a framework, the text covers all the books of the Hebrew Bible, along with the deuterocanonical books included in the Bible used by many Christians.
