How do we enter the world of the Old Testament? How can we understand what the ancient Israelites were communicating about their experience of God and their world? Benjamin's introduction provides readers with an excursion through the biblical text in its literary, theological and cultural contexts.

"In this wonderfully crafted book, Don Benjamin addresses important questions, illuminates the role that faith and culture played in the shaping of the biblical text and tradition, and presents familiar material in a fresh and engaging way. Creatively drawing out the richness of many literary strands embedded in the Old Testament as story, Benjamin teases out the artistry of an ancient document while imaginatively capturing, with accuracy, its historical and social dimensions. The Old Testament Story: An Introduction with CD-ROM is a gem among many texts of its kind."
Don C Benjamin teaches biblical studies and religion at Arizona State University in Tempe. His previous books include Deuteronomy and City Life (1983), Social World of Ancient Israel, 1250-587 B.C.E. (1993), and Old Testament Parallels (2nd ed.,1997).
