Giving the Sense

A unique collection of Old Testament essays designed to supplement courses on the History of Israel. This collection of essays surveys the four major periods of Israel's history and explores the theological, literary, historical, and archaeological dimensions of each era. It concludes with two chapters on preaching from the Old Testament historical narratives. Almost all of the essays are original to this project. This book moves from methodological issues, to an overview of Israel's history, and finally to many diverse topics, all relating to ancient Israel
