Intro To Old Test - 2nd ed:

Weak on defense of Conservaive views of Authorship. Some books not clear as to view authors prefer. Organization of key intrepretative problems (i.e. Date of Exodus) wordy in some places and weak in others. Up to date information is very good. Need larger section on Mimimalist verses Maximalist issues.

New Edition Available!:

This is an excellent overview of the OT, with helpful chapters on each book. But, it's a 1994 and somewhat dated. The book now has a second edition, which Amazon curiously does not list. The newer version is a year or two old, published by Zondervan, with Tremper Longman III listed as the first author - e.g., "Longman and Dillard."

Professor's Dillard and Longman's Introduction to the Old Testament is an outstanding resource for understanding the literary, theological, and historical background of every Old Testament book. It is evangelical in its perspective, yet interacts with historical - cricial methods of interpretation that have been prominent over the past 100 + years or so.
A typical overview of each Old Testament book will start with an overview, useful commentaries and articles for each book, the historical background... more info

Excellent Book:

This is an excellent book for those who are studying the Old Testament.
