Aaron Chalmers is Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies, Tabor Adelaide - a multi-denominational, evangelical college located in Adelaide, South Australia.
"Aaron Chalmers's book . . . helpfully enables the student to
understand how the various leaders in Israel related to the world
in which they worked, and brings out a number of aspects of this
that are not easily found elsewhere."--Gordon McConville, professor
of Old Testament theology, University of Gloucestershire
"What did people such as priests and prophets do in Israel? How
were they chosen and trained? How did ordinary people's
relationship with God work out? This volume is a fine user-friendly
guide to what we can learn about such questions from the Bible,
from archeology and from current scholarly theory."--John
Goldingay, author of OId Testament Theology
"Chalmers has provided students with a solid first step for
navigating the complexities of the religion of ancient Israel. His
sensitive distinctions between state religion (involving the
experts) and family religion (as practiced by the common people)
evidence his awareness of the current conversations and will be
particularly helpful for those desiring to read the Old Testament
in more informed ways."--John Walton, author of The Lost World of
Genesis One
