What People Are Saying

David W. Baker

Near East Archaeological Society Bulletin

“This volume should be in Bible colleges and seminary libraries. Pastors and interested laypeople will also benefit.”

Willem A. VanGemeren

Trinity International University

“The authors are commended for providing their readers with a lucid survey of the Old Testament. The illustrations, sidebars, glossary, and study questions open up the relevance of the biblical text both in its ancient context and in our modern situation. A very useful volume.”

Tremper Longman III

Westmont College

“Arnold and Beyer have produced an exciting new survey of the Old Testament with the college student specifically in mind. They have masterfully designed their work with text and graphics in a way that will not only grip the student’s attention but will guide students through the material with their expert touch. I enthusiastically recommend this volume to you.”
