Reviews

This introduction to the Old Testament for lay people, parish study groups, and high school students invites readers to approach the Bible " as it is ," in a "hands on" way, like "a friend." Stuhlmueller explains some tools and assumptions of modern biblical scholarship and demonstrates their usefulness via illustrative studies of Exodus and Isaiah. He also discusses ways that main scriptural traditions (Yahwist, Elohist, Priestly, and Deuteronomist) merge to reveal a multifaceted picture of God in the five books of Moses. Finally, he examines messianic images of the Old Testament. A readable guide with a gently liberal stance.
