Each volume (41 volumes for the Old & New Testament) contains the following helpful features:Biblically sound exegesisClear expositionObjective approachConcise introductionNew International Version of the BibleKey word translationEasy to use design formatPractical footnotesAnd more! Old Testament Introduction:An introduction is a type of book that treats the individual books of the Old Testament one by one, giving attention to such issues as authorship, date, and purpose.The content of each chapter is organized according to nine headings: BibliographyHistorical & Cultural BackgroundHistory of InterpretationText & AuthorshipStructureGenreTheological EmphasesSignificance for the New TestamentSpecial IssuesSeveral authors added a final section to their chapter, dealing with issues raised by a specific book. Dr. Manor, for example ended his chapter on Kings with a special section entitled, 'Historical Reliability of the Records.' This addition is apropos given the historical nature of the book of Kings.This volume is written with several presuppositions about Scripture. First, the Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. 'Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit' (2 Peter 1:20-21).Second, the Bible is trustworthy and true. In the Pastorals Paul repeatedly affirms, 'Here is a trustworthy saying' (1 Tim 1:15, 3:1, 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8). This is our contention for the entire Bible, as it was for Paul. He wrote, 'All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work' (2 Tim 3:16-17).Third, the Bible is not contradictory. Even though multiple human authors contributed to the Bible, from differing periods of time, using diverse genres, the biblical message is consistent. The Bible is the witness of the Father to the Son (John 5:39) through the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 2:6-15).Our desire in these pages is to provide a resource for your study of the Old Testament that will benefit you, whether you are preparing a Bible school lesson, a sermon, a college course, or even your personal devotions.This volume is dedicated to the praise of God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
