It still speaks with the clarity of Larry Boadt, but with new energy.Irene Nowell, St. Johns UniversityRichard Clifford and Daniel Harrington were the right persons to revise this book. Like Larry Boadt, they are most accomplished scholars and teachers with a keen pastoral sense. Leading people to appreciate the Bible was Larry Boadts mission in life. This book is a fitting tribute to his fidelity to this mission."Leslie J. Hoppe, OFMCatholic Theological Union"When Larry Boadt was asked why his book was so popular, he replied simply: 'I knew what students needed; I provided it.' The needs are still there and the book still provides for them. Since the book was written, much has changed in some areas of Old Testament study. Dick Clifford and Dan Harrington are well qualified to bring it up-to-dateand they have done a measured job."Antony F.
