A guide to the various kinds of literature in the Old Testament-narrative, history, law, oracles, and more-and how to interpret them. Sandy and Giese have a simple objective: to help believers better understand the Old Testament. What hinders such understanding is the nature of how the Old Testament writers communicated truth. The contributors discuss the literary conventions or structures used by the OT writers. Although the discussion is presented by competent and conservative scholars, it is not primarily written with academicians in mind. The object is to help preachers, teachers, and laymen advance their skills in interpreting the Old Testament accurately and accordingly, even some of the more technical areas are presented in a practical, user-friendly manner. Contributors include Eugene Merrill, Walt Kaiser, and Tremper Longman, III.
