Description: This volume includes commentary on Joshua through Esther, an introduction to themes and perspectives in the Historical Writings. The introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the Old Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, relating the biblical theme of "the people of God" to our complex, multicultural world, and reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture.

Featuring the work of over seventy-five top biblical scholars, Fortress Commentary on the Bible Study series presents a balanced synthesis of current scholarship, enabling readers to interpret Scripture for a complex and pluralistic world. The volumes balance attention to ancient biblical contexts with attention to contemporary challenges and to the ethics of responsible interpretation. Each volume contains introductory essays that address the general challenges that constitute the ethical and theological agenda for interpreting the Old or New Testament in the twenty-first century. Section introductions address questions of historical origin and context at the center of scholarship on each section of the Bible.
