Engaging the Old Testament : How to Read Biblical Narrative, Poetry, and Prophecy Well

This introductory textbook invites students into the depths and riches of the Old Testament and shows the Old Testament\u27s relevance for Christian readers. Rising Latino evangelical Old Testament scholar Dominick Hernández demonstrates how to read Old Testament texts well and put the ancient written word into practice in our day and age.

Students will learn how to become better readers of the text and how to read select Old Testament passages well, paying attention to how the biblical authors used rhetorical techniques to provoke readers to action.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1659/thumbnail.jp
