McKenzie, Steven L. and M. Patrick Graham, eds. The Hebrew Bible Today: An Introduction to Critical Issues. Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 1998, xv + 240 pp., $24.00 paper.
Eight essays comprise this volume, which attempts to make the latest in OT scholarship accessible to the average reader with no awareness of the critical issues in Biblical studies. The contributors are leading scholars in the academy, representing the cutting edge of critical views and approaches. (A similar volume, targeted at an audience more conversant with trends in OT scholarship and written by scholars more conservative in their views, is B. T. Arnold and D. W. Baker, eds., The Face of Old Testament Studies: A Survey of Contemporary Approaches [Grand Rapids: Baker 19997.) The essays are organized into three divisions, following the threefold divisions of the Tanak: Law (Torah), Prophets (Nevi'im), and Writings (Ketuvim).
The essays are: "The Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy)," by John Van Seters (pp. 3-49); "The Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, 1-- 2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings)," by A. Graeme Auld (pp. 53-68); "The Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel)," by Marvin A. Sweeney (pp. 69-94); "The Book of the Twelve/The Minor Prophets (Hoses, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi)," by David L. Petersen (pp. 95-126); "The Wisdom Books (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes)," by Kathleen A. Farmer (pp. 129-151); "The Songs of Israel (Psalms, Lamentations)," by John H. Hayes (pp. 153-171); "Other Writings (Ruth, Song of Songs, Esther, Daniel)," by Kirsten Nielsen (pp. 173-199); "The 'Chronicler's History' (Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles)," by M. Patrick Graham (pp. 201-- 215). An author index concludes the volume.
