Interpreting the Old Testament: A Practical Guide (Old Testament Message, A Biblical-Theological Commentary, Vol. 1) - Softcover
Interpreting the Old Testament addresses literary, historical, form, source and redaction, and textual criticism, each in separate chapters. Other chapters concern words and motifs, archaeology and parallels, the Old Testament in Christian worship, and a post-script on canonical criticism and the social sciences as new methods of approach to the study of Scripture.

From the Inside Flap:
This introduction to Old Testament exegesis responds to the directives of the Second Vatican Council that instructs biblical interpreters to investigate the meaning the sacred writers intended to express. Thus it acquaints readers with an introduction to the methods commonly used in biblical scholarship today.?A valuable tool for students in any survey or introductory Old Testament course as well as for anyone who wishes a better understanding of biblical studies.? Horizons?... exceptionally valuable in giving people a sense of familiarity with the Old Testament.? The Bible Today?... will be warmly welcomed by students of theology, by preachers, teachers and all who wish to search the Scriptures.?Scripture in Church
