The Hebrew Bible - 2nd Edition by David M Carr (Paperback)

The Hebrew Bible: A Contemporary Introduction to the Christian Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in the broader context of world history.

This newly revised second edition incorporates the most recent research on the archaeology and history of early Israel, the formation of the Pentateuch, and the development of the historical and poetic books.

Written by a leading scholar in the field, this book provides a deepened and current focus on recent methods of biblical study, including trauma studies, African American, womanist, and ecocritical approaches to the Bible.

With the inclusion of study questions in each chapter, focus passages from the Bible, timelines, illustrations, photographs, and a glossary, students will benefit from a richer understanding of how Old Testament writings were shaped through interaction with ancient empires while introducing them to multiple versions, translations, and digital resources for further study of the Bible.

This book is ideal for students of seminary courses and undergraduate students studying the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, as well as general readers interested in the history of the formation of the Bible.
