Review by the publisher, www.zondervan.com , April 4, 1997
After eight years of being created, shaped, and
fine-tuned, An Introduction to the Old Testament joins
its critically acclaimed, award-winning companion, An
Introduction to the New Testament by Carson, Moo, and
Morris. An Introduction to the Old Testament, edited
from an evangelical perspective by Tremper Longman III
and the late Raymond B. Dillard, offers a study and
interpretation of Scripture, book by book, which
enables its readers to draw more reliable conclusions
from the biblical text. While covering standard
questions of authorship, date, sources, purpose,
history of interpretation, and polemics; and
integrating contemporary hermeneutical theory and the
latest archaeological developments, Longman and
Dillard focus their study on three areas: * Historical
background * Literary analysis * Theological message
They believe these areas are intertwined throughout
Scripture and important elements to consider when
interpreting the Old Testament. The editors
under-score the importance of studying the groups as a
whole: "While these three topics are treated
separately, they function in a fully integrated manner
in the biblical text. The history has theological
meaning; the theology is based on historical events.
The texts that narrate this theological history or
historicized theology are fittingly described as
literary art," says Longman. In addition, An
Introduction to the Old Testament devotes special
attention to the Christocentric nature of the Old
Testament with a section titled, "Approaching the New
Testament." This section follows one or more main
themes of the given book and follows it into the New
Testament.
