Book Description

Lucidly written by leading biblical scholar Michael D. Coogan, this balanced, engaging, and up-to-date introduction to the Hebrew scriptures distills the best of current scholarship. Employing the narrative chronology of the Bible itself and the history of the ancient Near East as a framework, Coogan covers all the books of the Hebrew Bible, along with the deuterocanonical books included in the Bible used by many Christians. He works from a primarily historical and critical methodology but also introduces students to literary analysis and other interpretive strategies.

A Key to the Hebrew Scriptures


Book Description

Excerpt from A Key to the Hebrew Scriptures: Being an Explanation of Every Word in the Sacred d104, Arranged in the Order in Which It Occurs; With an Index, Containing Every Word, With Its Leading Idea, and a Reference to Its Place in the Key It is a common practice with the advocates for the points to speak disrespectfully of the Septuagint translation for this simple reason, that it does not favour their scheme of interpretation nevertheless, there is no doubt but that that translation is one of the most precious remnants of antiquity that God has preserved to the Church.
