Hebrew Bible

the long version

"The articles in this volume, excerpted from the Dictionary of Biblical Interpretation (ed. John H. Hayes, Abingdon Press, 1999), provide a basic outline for the history of interpretation for each of the canonical books of the Hebrew Bible. The volume also includes articles on the critical study of the Decalogue, Deuteronomistic History, Pentateuchal Criticism, Hebrew Bible Poetry, Prophecy and Prophets." "Each article emphasizes the history of interpretation from early rabbinic and Christian studies, through the Reformation period, to the present. The bibliographies have been extensively updated. Hebrew Bible: History of Interpretation is an important reference tool for all students of biblical interpretation and a highly useful text for the seminary classroom, the graduate seminar, and upper-level undergraduate courses."--Jacket.
