Scripture Index

"A very well-balanced introduction to the main lines of
academic readings of the Hebrew Bible ... The result is exactly
what editor Perdue claims: 'a coherent, up-to-date
introduction to the major areas of Old Testament biblical
scholarship'. Recommended for all libraries; all readership
levels and groups."

Choice

"The very informative and comprehensive contributions are
all written by internationally leading scholars. The companion is a
welcome and helpful tool for modern biblical study and deserves
attention from a wide range of readers."

Dr Konrad Schmid, University of Heidelberg

" The volume will undoubtedly be a useful reference work, ...
enabling undergraduate students in particular to orientate
themselves when embarking on OT studies."

Iwan Rhys Jones, The Evangelical Theological College of Wales
Bryntirion

"Most of us who teach Old Testament/Hebrew Bible continue to
search for the perfect textbook. Might the Blackwell
Companion signal an end to the quest,... The Blackwell
Companion is a monumental work, produced from the labor of many at
the apex of their scholarly careers."

Esther E. Menn, Lutheran School of Theology at
Chicago
