Biblical Israel, and Old Babylonian. Hartley, Robert L. Hubbard Jr., John E. McKenna, and William B. Reflecting the best of evangelical scholarship, Old Testament Survey provides a comprehensive study of the nature and contents of each of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and also considers the historical data and theological themes relevant to the Hebrew Scriptures. Part 1 covers the five books of the Pentateuch. Part 2 studies the books of the Prophets, with special consideration given to the birth and history of Israel's monarchy, the role of prophets and prophecy, and the nature of Hebrew poetry. Part 3 examines the Writings, including a special study of wisdom literature in general. Part 4, which has been relocated from the front of the book to the back, contains studies of various background themes necessary for understanding the Old Testament: 'The Authority of the Old Testament for Christians,' 'Revelation and Inspiration,' 'The Concept of Canon,' 'Formation of the Old Testament,' 'Geography,' 'The Chronological Puzzle,' 'Archaeology,' and 'Messianic Prophecy.' All of the revisions and enhancements undertaken in this volume will make Old Testament Survey even more serviceable for college and seminary use as well as for study by scholars, pastors, and interested lay readers. “The books called “Law” (or Pentateuch) have carried the account of God’s actions from creation to the borders of the promised land. That story is continued in the second main division of the Hebrew Bible: the “Prophets,” which is subdivided into “Former Prophets” and “Latter Prophets.” The Former Prophets consist of four books: Joshua, Judges, Samuel (later divided into 1-2 Samuel), and Kings (later divided into 1-2 Kings). Their record of divine activity spans nearly seven centuries from Joshua’s call to Jehoiachin’s release.” ―. The Old Testament Survey I: A Christ-Centered Approach to Studying Jesus’ Bible is intended to survey the message of the Old Testament, both at the individual book level and at the canonical level. That is, students will not only grasp the main message of each individual book of the Old Testament, but they will understand how that message contributes to the overall message of the Bible. Emphasis will be given to tracing the ow of redemptive history from the beginning of time until the inter-testamental period, showing how the entire Old Testament points to, prepares the way for, and is fullled by Jesus the Messiah. This will be accomplished by reading What the Old Testament Authors Really Cared About in its entirety and the majority of Dominion and Dynasty, as well as by first-hand study of some of the key biblical passages throughout the Old Testament.
