BT 605 Old Testament Theology
Lawson G. Stone
Anderson, Bernhard. Contours of Old Testament Theology. Minneapolis: Fortress, 1999. A very accessible survey of OT theology that tries to blend the historical unfolding Israel's faith with the canonical order of the OT. Childs, Brevard S. Old Testament Theology in a Canonical Context. Philadelphia: Fortress, 1985. A survey of the theology of the OT that procedes by topics rather than historically or in canonical order. Childs, Brevard S. Bibilcal Theology: A Proposal. Minneapolis: Fortress, 2002. A brief analysis of the current problems of OT and biblical theology combined with a fresh argument for a canonical approach. Sailhammer, John. H., Introduction to Old Testament Theology: A Canonical Approach. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1995. This book reviews the history and achievements of OT Theology, but does so with a thematic and methodological concern that goes beyond a mere bibliographic survey.

OT 520 Old Testament Introduction
Lawson G. Stone
Basic Textbook: Dillard, R. B. and Trempor Longman, An Introduction to the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994. A traditional OT introduction written by two evangelical scholars. An “introduction” to the OT is not a guide to the uninformed, but is a summary of current scholarly opinion about the authorship, date, origins, and composition of each OT book and the issues involved in their interpretation. Required Supplementary Texts: Three additional textbooks are required for this course W. W. Klein, C. L. Blomberg, R. L. Hubbard, Introduction to Biblical Interpreatation. Waco: Word, 1993. Introduces essential issues involved in biblical interpretation and the methods employed with specific types of material. Our assignments skip sections dealing explicitly with the New Testament. F. F. Bruce, Israel and the Nations : The History of Israel from the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple. InterVarsity, 1998. This is a very fine short presentation of the history of biblical Israel that will supplement and complement the "Tapestries" portion of the class lectures. V. H. Matthews, D. C. Benjamin, Social World of Ancient Israel: 150-587 BCE. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1993. This book expounds the cultural and ethnic heritages represented in the OT, particularly in their divergence from or tension with modern expectations. It takes a culturalanthropological and sociological perspective to cover the world of the OT from the perspective of social settings and institutions. Several articles are in electronic form and will be in the Course Conference icon which will appear in your ATS e-mail window during the first 2 days of class.

OT 520 Old Testament Introduction

conservative) OT criticism as well as evangelical scholars. Some readings are difficult and not always obviously relevant to, say, sermon preparation or youth ministry. Dillard, R. B. and Trempor Longman, An Introduction to the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994. A traditional OT introduction written by two evangelical scholars. An “introduction” to the OT is not a guide to the uninformed, but is a summary of current scholarly opinion about the authorship, date, origins, and composition of each OT book and the issues involved in their interpretation. It follows the book-by-book order of the OT. John Drane. Introducing the Old Testament. Fortress. 2001. Not redundant at all with Dillard-Longman, this book follows the history of Israel chronologically and includes discussions of the material as it fits that pattern. The last chapters are a very nice introduction to the faith of the OT. W. W. Klein, C. L. Blomberg, R. L. Hubbard, Introduction to Biblical Interpreatation. Waco: Word, 1993. Introduces essential issues involved in biblical interpretation and the methods employed with specific types of material. Our assignments skip sections dealing explicitly with the New Testament.
