Bøger i Handbooks for Old Testament Exegesis serien

A valuable resource for pastors and students, second volume in the HOTE series begins by explaining the nature of Hebrew poetry and the purpose of the Psalms. Old Testament scholar Mark Futato next explores issues related to properly interpreting Israel's songbook, and concludes with a sample of moving from interpretation to proclamation. A glossary is included.

This valuable reference tool for students and pastors explores the components of the narrative genre--setting, characterization, and plot--and then develops the major theological themes in each of the Old Testament historical books.
