Reviews

[Blueize]

This is fairly dense text. The first few chapters discuss the various critical approaches to Biblical analysis. The rest of the book is a review of the best information that those approaches have yielded.

[Irene]

Good introductory text.

[Ashley Elizabeth]

Overly dry and redundant.
