Merrills An Historical Survey of the Old Testament as a comprehensive but concise study of the first thirty-nine books of the Bible.  Assured of the accuracy of the Old Testament  Merrill approaches it as Gods revelation to the world through Israel  his chosen people. This historical structure provides the basic framework for his text  which is enriched by   insights from the history of the Middle East;  geographical backgrounds;  archaeological perspectives; and  cultural  religious  and social points of view.  Introductory material examines the nature of the Old Testament and its literary genres  recounting a history of challenges to its credibility. Subsequent chapters isolate each epoch covered by the Old Testament  from creation to the postexilic period. Hebrew words are set in a linguistic context. A short review of intertestamental history is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647599829045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0801062837","price":24.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780801062834.jpg?v=1781695284","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-historical-survey-of-the-old-testament-9780801062834","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
