Reviews

[Samuel Draper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Helpful summary of the recent history of scholarship on the Old Testament. Solid summaries of key names and the movements that sprung from their thought. Easy to access prose and the right amount of detail and analysis.

Mild recommendation to anyone looking to beef up their familiarity with the history of the field.
