Christian theologians rarely study the Old Testament in its final Hebrew canonical form, even though this was very likely the Bible of Jesus and the early church. However, once read as a whole, the larger structure of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) provides a 'wide-angle lens' through which its contents can be viewed.
In this stimulating exposition, Stephen Dempster argues that, despite its undoubted literary diversity, the Hebrew Bible possesses a remarkable structural and conceptual unity. The various genres and books are placed within a comprehensive narrative framework which provides an overarching literary and historical context. The many texts contribute to this larger text, and find their meaning and significance within its story of 'dominion and dynasty', which ranges from Adam to the Son of Man to David, and to a coming Davidic king.

'Dr Dempster's reading of the story-line of the Old Testament is
fresh, provocative, helpful - and doubtless will prove to be the stuff of
many sermons and lectures. His closing chapter points to some of the links
that bind the Old and New Testaments together, an obviously urgent goal for
the Christian preacher and teacher' -- D. A. Carson
.. a refreshing attempt to read the Hebrew Bible as one unified
Text, rather than a 'ragbag' of diverse texts.
-- Doug Ingram; European Journal of Theology; April 2005
written in a very readable style .. handles a mass of material
with a very sure and deft touch .. the content is fresh and very
stimulating. -- Norris Wilson; Reformed Theological Journal; November 2004
A fresh, stimulating study of the Old Testament, in its Hebrew
canonical order, as a unified text.
