Description: In this 2020 updated edition, Walter Brueggemann and Tod Linafelt introduce the reader to the broad theological scope of the Old Testament, treating some of the most important issues and methods in contemporary biblical interpretation. The text focuses on the literature of the Old Testament as it grew out of religious, political, and ideological contexts over many centuries in Israel's history.

The authors cover every book in the Old Testament and demonstrate the development of theological concepts in biblical writings from the Torah through post-exilic Judaism. Incorporating the most current scholarship, they also include concrete tips for doing close readings of the Old Testament text. A chapter is included on ways to read Scripture and respond in light of pressing contemporary issues, such as economic inequality, racial and gender justice, and environmental degradation.

This introduction invites readers to engage in the construction of meaning as they venture into these timeless texts.
