From the Back Cover
"A Survey of the Old Testament" has been an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and laymen who want to understand the conservative position on Old Testament and are not afraid to examine critical views.

Lower (textual) criticism
Then Archer dissects each book of the Old Testament individually. You will thoroughly cover issues such as:
Biblical creationism
Noah s ark and the flood
Authorship
Alleged language, style, and theme differences
Disputed dates of several prophetic books
This useful tool has been translated into seven languages and highly applauded in the academic community among Christian leaders.
