The Land of Israel in Bible, History, and Theology by J.T.A.G.M. van Ruiten,Cor de Vos Pdf
This book deals with many aspects of the land of Israel. In the first part, the emphasis is on descriptions of the land in Joshua and other books of the Hebrew anf Greek Bible. In the second part, the focus shifts to the land in history and theology: reception-history of biblical texts dealing with the land, archaeology of Palestine, and theological-hermeneutical implications of taking the land traditions of the Bible seriously. The result is a rich collection of articles on one of the main themes of the Old Testament; a theme that has a fascinating, although not always unproblematic reception history.
Studies in Old Testament History by Rev. Jesse L. Hurlbut, D.D. Pdf
"When we open the Old Testament we find it, first of all, a book of history. We are apt to look upon the Bible as a dictionary of doctrine, wherein we are to search for sentences as proof--texts. But instead it contains the story of redemption in the form of a history. We see how God chose a family and pruned off its dead branches and caused it to grow into a nation; then, how he trained and disciplined that nation through fifteen centuries, until upon it blossomed the Divine Man. The history of the Bible is the history of humanity, of literature, of ethics, of religion, of doctrine; and no one who studies it carefully will fail of an abundant reward for his endeavor." - Rev . Jesse L . Hurlbut "The aim of this little book is to present an outline history of God's chosen people, Israel, and to show what was their mission, how they were trained for it, and how the world was prepared to receive it. The book itself consists of ten studies, to each of which are attached a blackboard outline, questions for review, and subjects for special papers. It is designed for private study, and also for use in the classroom, and is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended. Any person who will thoroughly acquaint himself with its contents will be well informed in Old Testament history. It is a book that should be studied." -The Reformed Quarterly Review, Volume 38, 1891 "Into ten studies, Dr. Hurlbut compresses much of the Old Testament history, enabling the reader by a little diligence to master it, and to understand the historic Scriptures as he never could understand them without grasping them in their wholeness and as part of the system of revelation. Definitions, explanatory notes, dates and Scripture references, with glimpses of contemporaneous history, are numerous while the arrangement is progressive and systematic. It is a very useful compilation." -The Methodist Review, Volume 73, 1891 CONTENTS Preface Chronological Table Hints to Students Hints to Teachers The Course Divided Into Lessons First Study.-The Beginnings of Bible History Second Study.-The Wandering in the Wilderness Third Study.-The Conquest of Canaan Fourth Study.-The Age of the Heroes Fifth Study.-The Rise of the Israelite Empire Sixth Study.-The Golden Age of Israel Seventh Study.-The Rival Thrones-Israel Eighth Study.-The Rival Thrones-Judah Ninth Study.-The Captivity of Judah Tenth Study.-The Jewish Province

The Old Testament Between Theology and History by Niels Peter Lemche Pdf
From its inception at the time of the Enlightenment until the mid-twentieth century, the historical-critical method constituted the dominant paradigm in Old Testament studies. In this magisterial overview, Niels Peter Lemche surveys the development of the historical-critical method and the way it changed the scholarly perception of the Old Testament. In part 1 he describes the rise and influence of historical-critical approaches, while in part 2 he traces their decline and fall. Then, in part 3, he discusses the identity of the authors of the Old Testament, based on the content of the literature they wrote, demonstrating that the collapse of history does not preclude critical study. Part 4 investigates the theological consequences of this collapse and surveys Old Testament and biblical theology in its various manifestations in the twentieth century. An appendix includes a history of Palestine from the Stone Age to modern times, constructed without recourse to the Old Testament.

Ancient Israel's History by Bill T. Arnold,Richard S. Hess Pdf

This substantive history of Israel textbook values the Bible's historical contribution without overlooking critical issues and challenges. Featuring the latest scholarship, the book introduces students to the current state of research on issues relevant to the study of ancient Israel.
