Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction

Description

Reading the Old Testament by Lawrence Boadt, CSP, was recognized as a classic almost from its date of publication in 1984. Without in any way diminishing its famed clarity, judiciousness, and theological depth, two prominent scholars, Richard Clifford and Daniel Harrington, have brought the book into the twenty-first century. In this new revised and updated edition, they have:
• Updated the archaeological reports
• Incorporated the research of the last three decades of biblical scholarship
• Supplied new or redrawn illustrations and maps
• Increased attention to Jewish-Christian biblical interpretations
• Continued the Christian-Jewish dialogue that was a feature of the original
