Travel Through the Old Testament Thomas L Hiegel

An extensive Old Testament study and reference source for both the scholar and student. The volume includes Key Words, Study Notes, Expanded Help Papers, Depth of Bible Words and Places, and Detailed Reference Tables. The author includes chapters on "The Making of the Old Testament," "Why Study the Bible," and "Structure of the Old Testament" along with the Key Locations, Key People, Key Events, and a brief outline of each of the books in the Hebrew and Protestant Bible. The author includes his chronology of each book's written date, period covered, and events in various locations around the world. He considers not only "accepted" understanding of Scripture, but also reviews controversial topics such as "The Gap" theory and the JEDP theory of authorship. However the author's chronological travel through the thirty-nine books is with a consistently conservative value. Divided into fourteen sections, including "The Beginning of History," "The Patriarchs", "Moses," "The Promised Land," "The Kingdom Begins," "Solomon," "Hebrew Poetry and Psalms," "Wisdom," "The Northern Kingdom, Israel," "The Southern Kingdom, Judah," "Golden Age of Prophecy," "Judah Falls," and "Captivity and Restoration." The work will serve as a small library of information in a single volume which you will turn to over and over.
