The Old Testament Speaks by Samuel J Schultz
One of the most popular introductions to the history and literature of the Old Testament, The Old Testament Speaks offers a clear picture of the archaeological, geographical, historical, and linguistic dimensions of God's covenant with his people, from the time of Abraham to the coming of the Messiah. The Old Testament Speaks examines the historical and religious life of the Hebrews, integrates the development of non-Hebraic cultures with conventional biblical history, and reviews the best scholarly research in placing the Scriptures in their Near Eastern setting.
Author Samuel J. Schultz emphasizes the importance of letting the Scriptures tell their own stories, but is careful to offer a balanced perspective. The Old Testament Speaks contains all the relevant material necessary for classroom use or personal study of the Old Testament. Schultz provides outlines that reflect the historical background and summarize the contents of each biblical book, as well as charts and maps to help visualize the biblical narrative. He has also revised and updated the bibliographies at the end of each chapter.Samuel J. Schultz (1914 - 2005) was an emeritus professor of Bible and theology at Wheaton College.
