Faith of Israel, The: A Theological Survey of the Old Testament (Second Edition)

This comprehensive survey introduces students to the theological emphasis of the entire Old Testament, from Genesis through Malachi. William J. Dumbrell demonstrates that the Hebrew Bible is not merely a book about ancient Israel. It's a book about God - His character, nature and work in history.

"Dumbrell is a well-trained and highly seasoned scholar whose historical, exegetical, and theological skills are evident throughout this erudite volume... This is the very best sort of Old Testament survey - one that not only teaches facts about the Bible but also shows the purpose and meaning of what you are reading."
- Douglas Stuart, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"All who care for high-grade canonical biblical theology should welcome Dumbrell's magnum opus. Clear and well-informed, thoroughly abreast of current scholarship, and full of good matter economically expressed, this is equally a textbook for students, a reference book for expositors and a guidebook for thoughtful laypeople who want to take the measure of the book of God. Dumbrell does the church masterful service in these close-packed, nutritious pages."
