Review

'A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament is,in my view, the best concise introduction to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible for undergraduates. Coogan is a precise and lucid writer and a top-notch scholar who is both at the forefront of a broad range of biblical scholarship and can distill that knowledge into accessible erudition.'--Martien Halvorson-Taylor, University of Virginia

'This is my favorite textbook for Introduction to the Old Testament. Coogan offers a wealth of comparative material that illuminates the biblical text.'--Karina Hogan, Fordham University

'This is an outstanding textbook. It is clear in its organization, presentation, and prose.'--Robert Stoops, Western Washington University
