Companion to the Old Testament by Hywel Clifford
Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament is about and what it is for? Companion to the Old Testament answers that question with guidance and enrichment for both first-time and experienced readers of the Old Testament, the first part of the Christian Bible.
"An excellent new resource for Old Testament studiesWritten from an avowedly Christian perspective, the Companion surveys the history of interpretation of each major section of the Old Testament in the patristic, mediaeval, Reformation, and modern periods, and then turns to a global perspective and the use of the OT in ministry and mission. Accessible as well as learned, and with up-to-date and comprehensive advice on further reading." -- John Barton, Oriel and Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, Emeritus at Oxford University and Emeritus Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford.
The chapters cover exactly what modern scholars want to teach in their classes: precisely the right intellectual enrichment, a good dose of how Scripture was received in the Christian tradition, and fine examples of how the Old Testament can be relevant in today´s world. -- Kristin De Troyer, University of Salzburg, Austria, and University of St Andrews, UK
How was the Old Testament interpreted by Christians through the ages ? How can it impact ministry and mission today ? At last a book which focusses on these major questions, answering them clearly and at length, in a refreshing approach that will both enlighten students and help professors to renew their own teaching. I am impressed by this tour de force. -- Matthieu Richelle, Faculté de théologie évangélique in Vaux-sur-Seine, France
