About This Book

The volume provides a systematic, teacher-oriented survey of the Hebrew scriptures from a historical perspective, combining maps and chronological updates with lesson outlines. It begins with the Old Testament world and geography, moves through patriarchal origins, the exodus and wilderness wanderings, conquest and settlement, the monarchy and temple era, the divided kingdoms, exile and postexilic province, and concludes with treatments of Hebrew literature and the formation of the canon. Each topic is presented as an outline study for classroom use, emphasizing institutions of worship, key places and chronology, and practical suggestions for Bible teaching.
