Introduction to the Hebrew Bible
"John Collin"s introduction is a timely and welcome contribution, one based on his own extensive research and on his many years of teaching the subject. The reader will find not only a careful presentation of the biblical material but also a judicious assessment of scholarship on it. This book will be a valuable tool for classroom use, and the bibliographics appended to each chapter will help the student who wishes to pursue a topic in greater detail." --James C. VanderKam, John A. O'Brien Professor of Hebrew Scriptures, University of Notre Dame
