A HISTORY OF ISRAEL

by John Bright ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

There is no substitute for a sure knowledge of the history of Israel if the Old Testament is to be understood. Prof. John Bright, realizing that there is no adequate book on this subject in English, has labored mightily and well to produce such a book which does full justice to the scholarship on the subject, but also tells the story in such fashion that the average earnest and intelligent reader will be rewarded for the effort involved in reading it. But Dr. Bright has had in mind especially the needs of the undergraduate in the theological seminary. This book is likely to become ""must"" reading in all seminary classes on the Bible, and the advanced student is amply helped by references and notations as he is moved toward further exploration. The sizeable investment in this volume will be more than justified by a clearer and deeper understanding of the Bible.
