Explore the History

of the Old Testament

Whether you approach it as scripture or as the most influential piece

of literature ever written, the Old Testament is a source of constant
wonder, inspiration, and intrigue. What can this book teach us about

the ancient Israelites? About who we once were? And what does our
faith find in new scholarly understanding?

In The Old Testament, prodigious scholar, author, and Professor

Amy-Jill Levine of Vanderbilt University Divinity School guides you
on an unforgettable exploration of the books of the Old Testament.
Using a wealth of examples, she demonstrates how various approaches

to biblical research and interpretation can enrich your understanding
of this inexhaustibly fruitful and powerful text. Throughout these

24 illuminating lectures, probe the contents of the biblical books,
examine debates over their meaning, investigate the historical and
cultural situations they reflect and address, and delve into the critical

methods by which they’ve been interpreted. Even if you know the Old
Testament well, Professor Levine’s thoughtful reflections will offer
you richer insights and new perspectives about writings that form the

spiritual bedrock for millions of people around the world.
