The Old Testament Speaks

Good survey of all books of the OT. Written from a conservative standpoint - a pretty thorough treatment. I used it for supplemental info for the OT sequence I'm doing through [...] . Shultz was on faculty at Wheaton, and the book was (maybe still is) used for the undergrad OT Survey at MBI. If you want a survey from the liberal viewpoint, this may not be the one - you will probably want to look elsewhere, such as "Understanding the OT" by B. Anderson. I give it a 5 because it suited my purpose - filler info to use in conjunction with 8 or 10 other survey / intro / macro / micro type books for the 3 course OT sequence through Reformed Seminary's MAR virtual program.

Outstanding Overview of OT

This was preparatory text along with the OT for my OT qualifying test for seminary. I liked it then for its simplicity, yet deep theology, and still turn to it,and recommend it for my laypeople who want to understand the context of the OT books.Once one receives the historical bearings, the OT starts to come alive and is so wonderful to study. This book started me down that course, and thus I am grateful.Time spent with this book coupled with OT reading will be fruitful.

Great Book ......Fact Filled

This is a truely great book. I have used it as the text for two college courses through seperate institutions and found it to be very rewarding. The author is a brilliant individual who teaches with this book on a regular basis at colleges and universities throughout the United States. This book is a must if one is studying major prophets of the Old Testament or Old Testament history.
