"Michael D. Coogan's The Old Testament is a comprehensive and thoughtful introduction to the body of knowledge generated by over a century of Biblical scholarship. This book lucidly and carefully introduces undergraduate students to new ways of studying a very old book, and to the fascinating and contentious field of professional Biblical scholarship."--Vickie Larsen, University of Michigan, Flint "This is a top-quality book in all ways: great scholarship, great graphics, and careful attention to detail."--Timothy Dwyer, Roberts Wesleyan College "The Old Testament is an excellent book for both professors and students. Coogan is thorough in his scope and economical in his prose, making complicated issues understandable for students of various levels."--Jason Gaines, Fairfield University and Mount Holyoke College, "Michael D.
