“A very well-balanced introduction to the main lines of academic readings of the Hebrew Bible … The result is exactly what editor Perdue claims: ‘a coherent, up-to-date introduction to the major areas of Old Testament biblical scholarship’. Recommended for all libraries; all readership levels and groups.”
