Old Testament as Literature, The : Foundations for Christian Interpretation

---

Outline : Leading scholar Tremper Longman III explores the language and literature of the Old Testament as keys to understanding the biblical texts. Tremper Longman has studied and taught the Old Testament and its interpretation for more than four decades. In this book, he presents his mature thoughts on the importance of reading the Old Testament as literature. According to Longman, each culture tells its stories and writes its poems in different ways. To read and understand the Old Testament texts the way the ancient authors intended, we need to be aware of the conventions of Hebrew storytelling and poetry that they used. Part 1, dealing with literary theory, investigates how texts create meaning, the history of the study of the Old Testament as literature, and how genre dictates reading strategy. Longman explores the Hebrew conventions for both narrative and poetry in conversation with contemporary literary approaches. Parts 2 and 3 delve intro practice, using the tools gained in part 1 to analyze and interpret a variety of Old Testament narratives and poetry. Longman's accessible writing and balanced judgments make this book suitable for the classroom and the church.
