Giving the Sense

Understanding and Using Old Testament Historical
Texts.Brimming with insights, this volume by evangelical scholars
explores a broad range of Old Testament studies. The contributors explore
methodological issues, survey the five major eras in IsraelÉs history, and
focus on specific issues related to understanding Old Testament historical
texts Í such as the dating of the Exodus, the use of large numbers during
IsraelÉs monarchy, and the literary features in the book of Ester. Compiled in
honor of Eugene H. Merrill, this volume helps Old Testament students understand
how to 'give the sense' (in word of the Nehemiah 8:8) of what GodÉs Word say
ins historical narratives. (= 0825428920 / 9780825428920)'The
contributors - well-chosen for their individual articles - reflect awareness of
and expertise in the literature of their respective areas. Together, they have
produced a discussion [...] that will bothe honor Eugene Merrill and benefit
students of the Old Testament.' - John LawlorEditors: David M.
