Description

This volume will provide an understanding of the issues, problems, and methods of approach in contemporary Old Testament Study. Dr. Hayes first describes the development of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible and how it came to exist in three canonical forms - Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant. He then discusses the goals of textual criticism: an understanding of the transmission of the text in its various forms throughout history, and the reconstruction of the text in its most authentic and original form.
