A Survey of Old Testament Introduction

In this revised volume Gleason Archers original study is updated by author Dillon Burroughs. It approaches the study of the Old Testament from both a general and specific point of view. Dealing first with issues over which many scholars debate Archer offers evidence to support the conservative view of canonicity historicity inspiration textual problems and higher criticism. The second section dissects each book of the Old Testament individually. Archer thoroughly covers issues like biblical creationism; Noahs Ark and the flood; authorship; chronology; and alleged language style and theme differences. A Survey of Old Testament Introduction is invaluable to students and laymen who want to understand the conservative position of Old Testament issues and are not afraid to examine critical views.
