This book is a fascinating resource to have for a Bible class because it touches on all the books of the Old Testament. It dives in important aspects such as date, author, audience, and historicity. It also encapsulates and highlights other important features that are not made plain to the reader of the Bible at first glance.

Dedication

To Susan and Yvonne
with love
Proverbs 31:10

First words

[Editor's Preface] The strength of the church and the vitality of the individual Christian's life are directly related to the role Scripture plays in them.

[Publisher's Note] Bible courses must be considered the heart of the curriculum for Christian colleges and evangelical seminaries.

[To the Professor] This book targets an undergraduate audience, especially freshmen.

[To the Student] Encountering the Old Testament in a systematic way for the first time is an exciting experience.

"Get your facts straight," I remember my high school English teacher telling us.
