A Survey of Old Testament Introduction is invaluable to students, scholars, and laymen who want to understand the conservative position on Old Testament introduction and are not afraid to examine critical views. In this revised volume, Gleason Archer examines the Old Testament using two approaches. The opening section deals with the difficult subjects of canonicity, historicity, inspiration, textual problems, and higher criticism. The second section confronts each book of the Old Testament individually, presenting discussions of specific issues related to that particular book. This useful tool has been translated into seven languages and highly applauded in the academic community and among Christian leaders. - Back cover.
