Dictionary of Old Testament Historical Books

A Compendium of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship.
The
Dictionary of the Old Testament: Historical Books is the second volume
in IVP's Old Testament dictionary series. This volume picks up where the
Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch left off - with Joshua and
Israel poised to enter the land - and carries us through the postexilic
period. Following in the tradition of the four award-winning IVP dictionaries
focused on the New Testament, this encyclopedic work is characterized by
in-depth articles focused on key topics, many of them written by noted experts.
The history of Israel forms the skeletal structure of the Old Testament.
Understanding this history and the biblical books that trace it is essential to
comprehending the Bible. The Dictionary of the Old Testament: Historical
Books is the only reference book focused exclusively on these biblical
books and the history of Israel. Here is what Old Testament scholars are saying
about it. (= 0830817824 / 9780830817825)
Editors: Bill T. Arnold and
Hugh G.M. Williamson.
'It is quite a testimony to a dictionary to say
I could hardly resist the temptation to read it through from 'Aaron' to
'Zerubbabel'. History, archaeology, everyday life, theology, religion,
geography, critical theories, hermeneutics - it's all there, in articles
written by a very wide range of top scholars and younger experts. It is a
marvelous volume.' - John Goldingay
