ancient context of the old testament!!, May 8 2007
By David Stump - Published on Amazon.com
The Hebrew Scriptures (old testament for christians), came from a particular time and culture, that of the ancient near east. That culture in that time had it's "stories" that were told about the "gods". This book is a good introductory sampling of the kinds of stories that were in vogue in the land of the old testament surroundings. The old testament should be heard and read with it's own background in mind; the kinds of stories and beliefs of it's own time and place. this book will give one an idea of the kinds of beliefs about the "gods" and such that were around in the ancient near east. For similar works check out Old Testament Parallels by Victor Matthews (new edition), and for a more thematic treatment try Ancient Near Eastern Thought And The Old Testament by John Walton.
