 | A Short Introduction to the Hebrew Bible Apr 28, 2010 |
| The book looks like brand new. I was impressed that it was delivery to me in three days with standard mail. | | |  | A very readable text Feb 18, 2010 |
| This is a set text for a Theology paper that I am studying. I've found it very interesting, well set out and easy reading. | | |  | Interesting material, but not so well-written Feb 12, 2010 |
| The material in this book is very interesting, but it is presented in a very dry and technical manner. Another book I was reading for the same class, "How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now" by James Kugel, basically presents the same material but in a much more dynamic, interesting, and relevant manner. The good thing about this book is that it's fairy short and has interesting graphics, but overall, I don't think you get too much out of this book other than a string of facts. No one really likes reading just a string of facts... | | | | Excellent Guide Oct 29, 2009 |
| I was looking for a guide to the Old Testament to read as I worked my way through the Old Testament. I am retired, and I decided to read the Bible cover-to-cover, something I had never done. But I wanted a scholarly guide that would explain the history and give critical analyses of the books. This was just what I was looking for. Dr. Collins' knowledge and concise articulation were quite informative and provocative. | | | | Informative, but bland Oct 24, 2008 |
| Collins' scholarship is excellent, his prose clear, and yet the book suffers a terrible flaw: it is incredibly bland. It plods along from one topic to the next without a hint of panache or razzle-dazzle. You will be sadly disappointed if you search for a joke within its covers. Rarely is there any sense of purpose in the exposition, rather it seems like a study-guide for an exam on the Hebrew Bible. It simply states what you need to know without really convincing you that you want to know it. For something with a little more flair and aplomb, I highly recommend How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now. | | | Write your own review about A Short Introduction to the Hebrew Bible
