Continuously in print for over 30 years, and available in many different languages, John Drane's Introducing the Old Testament has long been recognized as an authoritative and accessible survey of the subject.

This new edition has been fully revised and updated with fresh material on a range of topics, especially the political and cultural context that influenced the compilation of its books and the development of the faith of ancient Israel and Judah. Specific issues that will be of particular interest to students are highlighted in special boxed feature sections, along with an extensive glossary of technical terms and key maps and diagrams. This book is the ideal starting point for readers who wish to explore the Old Testament and its world in the light of recent scholarship, and its relevance to life in the twenty-first century.

JOHN DRANE has taught in the Universities of Stirling and Aberdeen, Scotland, and is currently affiliate professor of New Testament and Practical Theology at Fuller Seminary, California, and a visiting fellow of St John's College in the University of Durham. He has written scores of books for both children and adults, all of them on spiritual and Christian themes, and these have been translated into over 60 languages. He is widely known for his best-selling books on the Bible: 'Introducing the Old Testament and 'Introducing the New Testament (both now in their 3rd edition), and 'The World of the Bible.'
