About The Hebrew Bible: A Brief Socio-literary Introduction
Product Description One of the pioneers of the socio-literary study of the Hebrew Bible introduces the beginning student to the social forces that shaped ancient Israel's history and scriptures. Norman K. Gottwald brings new light to every book of the Hebrew Bible, and to the older traditions and sources on which those writings in part depend, paying particular attention to the rise and fall of empires and the social revolution achieved in Israel's beginnings. Rebecca J. Kruger Gaudino has prepared a clear and concise abridgement of Gottwald s classic textbook, now thoroughly updated and lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photos. Review "...A significant survey of the Old Testament, which combines the usual literary and theological evaluation with the social-historical approach... The structure and forrmat is excellent for students. Gottwald's work will become a standard text in Old Testament research for years to come." --Reobert Gnuse, Loyola University "Fair...balanced...judicious. (This volume) would make a good, balanced introduction for college and university students, and a useful reference work for scholars." --J.J.M. Roberts, Theology Today "...A significant survey of the Old Testament, which combines the usual literary and theological evaluation with the social-historical approach...
