Chris Of The OT

A surprising and wonderful title - very easy to read, well presented and completely fascinating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

'Peoples of the Old Testament World' is a marvellous compendium of information relating to the ancient races who inhabited the OT world - in other words, those nations which most influenced Israel's national development.

This title comprises three main parts with a single chapter for each national group:

Part 1: Mesopotamia
Sumerians - p19
Babylonians - 43
Assyrians - 77
Persian - 107

Part 2: Anatolia, Syria-Palestine, and Egypt
Hittites - 127
Canaanites and Amorites - 157
Phoenicians - 183
Arameans - 207
Philistines - 231
Egyptians - 251

Part 3: Transjordan
Ammonites - 293
Moabites - 317
Edomites - 335

Subject/Author/Scripture indexes - 349

Each chapter has been written by a different author, each an undisputed expert in their field (to PhD standard) but they all write in a pleasing, very accessible way: there is no danger here of `dry academia'.

Each contributor has put together a lively, interesting essay offering nicely balanced, fairly meaty but easily digestible introductions into each national group. A page or so ends each chapter with `Recommended Reading' for further investigation. The fifty pages of indexes - thirty-eight for `Subject' - are useful and fairly broad, but by no means exhaustive. Although there are a few very good quality illustrations, they are all black & white and most are fairly small.

I was stunned to find that this title has been on my Amazon `Wish List' since 2003, but I resisted until I found a cheap, second-hand copy from Amazon Marketplace. Though this book just about stretches to 400 pages, there are actually only a little over 300 for the body text. While this offers a well rounded introduction, I think I would have really appreciated another hundred pages or so - and more, improved, illustrations and charts too. I'm sure this would have increased the price even further so perhaps I should be grateful for what we have here - and I surely am. To find such a breadth of application in such an accessible *single* volume is stunning.

This fabulous volume really sheds light on the world into which ancient Israel emerged. While it is probably aimed at Bible college students, I am confident that anyone and everyone interested in biblical topics would really enjoy this: brevity not withstanding, I really feel I struck gold in finally finding this title. 4½ stars would be fully justified...

Wasn't quite what I was searching for ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

Wasn't what I expected actually. I was looking more for background information about peoples in the Bible during the Old testament times, and more in depth information on the connection between Israels story as in the Bible and the surrounding nations. After reading the reviews of others and recomendations on other websites, I bought this. It was quite an expensive purchase (even though the cheapest was Amazon) but although the author is good and has a broad knowledge of each of the peoples he writes about, I don't think theres as much connection with the Bible story as the book proports to having. Yes, there are many references to the Bible but have little relevance to the content he actually writes. The references seem chosen just because they mention the people he is writing about in that particular chapter, but thats the only connection really. I do regret spending the money on this book but if you are looking for a little history on the superpowers around the Old Testament time then its ok.
