Handbooks for Old Testament Exegesis : An Exegetical Handbook

The Old Testament displays a remarkable literary and theological unity through a variety of genres. But applying a single, one-size-fits-all method of exegesis can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. A valuable reference for students and pastors, the Handbooks for Old Testament Exegesis (HOTE) series provides readers with an ehanced understanding of different Old Testament genres and strategies for interpretation.
