| 2. |  | Old Testament Survey: The Message, Form, and Background of the Old Testament from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Customer Review: I ordered this book to use as a reference for a course. I have found many references made to this book in other places, so it has been a good addition to my personal library. This book gives a great overall perspective to the Old Testament. |

| 3. |  | A Survey of the Old Testament (Second Edition) from Zondervan Price: $23.09 Customer Review: You will enjoy reading this book, it has so many writings to refresh your mind and to enlighten you on what it is all about.

| 4. |  | Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction from Paulist Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I believe this book is probably the best overall introduction to the Old Testament. It provides historical context of the Near East. It covers all the bases and goes into scholarly detail. It goes through the Yawehist (Y)/Elohim (E)/Priestly sources and their different contributions to the composite... |

| 5. |  | Who Wrote the Bible? from HarperOne Price: $10.85 Customer Review:  Professor Friedman's book shatters most of my beliefs since childhood relative to who wrote the Bible. My earliest beliefs were formed by my teachers who were strict orthodox protestant believers. Basically I believed that every word of God in the Old Testament was there as if God had dictated it to... |

| 6. |  | Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures--The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Let's get one thing out of the way. All Bible translations have a bias. The Bible: Authorized King James Version (Oxford World's Classics) was a protestant document through and through. While many claim to be easier to understand, most of them sacrifice ambiguity and humor in the interest of... |

| 7. |  | A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament: Based upon the Lexical Work of Ludwig Koehler and Walter Baumgartner from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $22.80 Customer Review: This review is for 4 Hebrew lexicons in common use: Brown-Driver-Briggs, Koehler-Baumgartner, Holladay, and Langenscheidt. The sizeable Brown-Driver-Briggs lexicon is a development of Gesenius' historic work, and a long-time standard in English speaking countries. However, it has become dated,... |

| 8. |  | A Reader's Hebrew Bible from Zondervan Price: $31.49 Customer Review: The Reader's Hebrew Bible has been on the market for only a few months and looks set to become a "must" for everyone who has covered the basics of the language and wishes to progress to "real" Hebrew. You need, though, to have a good working vocabulary for it to enable you to read in extenso with... |

| 9. |  | Chronological and Background Charts of the Old Testament (Zondervan Charts) from Zondervan Price: $13.59 Customer Review:  The book was not what I expected as far as graphs etc. It came apart also and I had to re-glue the binding. |

| 11. |  | Encountering the Old Testament: A Christian Survey (Encountering Biblical Studies) from Baker Academic Price: $31.49 Customer Review: Study questions of this OT survey are helpful, but the content is on the shallow side. Be aware that the interpretive slant is very conservative. |

| 12. |  | Old Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors from Westminster John Knox Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This book is essential for students of Hebrew. This belongs with HALOT and Waltke/O'Connor as a book that the exegete cannot live without. |

| 13. |  | JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh: Pocket Edition from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $13.72 Customer Review: This Tanach is just right for my purposes. It contains the Hebrew text and a Jewish translation into English. The Torah portion is divided up into the traditional Parshiot with running heads. I use it for reference when studying Talmud or other texts. It's compact enough to be portable, but set in... |

| 15. |  | A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 from Zondervan Price: $4.99 Customer Review: The intricacy with which the author compares his job as a sheep farmer with the love of God opens one's mind to the all-incompassing work of the heaven Father on our behalf. However, just as he used his experiences to describe the shepherd's work which gives the reader a broader prespective of the... |

| 16. |  | How to Read the Psalms (How to Read Series) from InterVarsity Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This book was recommended to me by a theology professor who has yet to steer me wrong in his assessments of informative reading, based on my less than advanced study of scripture. Longman disects the Psalter as no commentary does. The various genres and purposes (uses) of the Psalms are explained in... |

| 17. |  | How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now from Free Press Price: $27.44 Customer Review: This is a truly excellent reference book for anyone interested in the history of Biblical interpretation. Indeed, the book might more accurately be called "How the Bible has been Read," since for any given section, it gives an overview of traditional readings, both Christian and Jewish, followed by... |

| 20. |  | Reflections on the Psalms (Harvest Book) from Harvest Books Price: $10.40 Customer Review: C.S. Lewis' thoughts on the Psalms are, like the rest of his writing, very carefully thought out. He finds nuggets of wisdom in places most commentators overlook. Over all, a very enjoyable & thought provoking work. |

| 21. |  | Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I thought the book was very well written. The first half of the book gives a very nice history of Abraham. The next chapters look how Abraham is linked to each of the three major religions while the last chapter or two show how each of the religions are different yet so much alike and through both... |

| 24. |  | Hebrew-English Tanakh Student Edition from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $35.28 Customer Review: I'm taking an adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah course, and purchased this as part of the syllabus. Although I already have both the Hertz (O'dox) and Plaut/UAHC (Reform) H.umashim [5 Books of Moses/Torah] with commentaries, it's nice to have the JPS version of same, as well as all the rest of the books in the... |

| 27. |  | Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide from Schocken Price: $9.60 Customer Review: Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide by Aryeh Kaplan is the best book I have read so far on this topic.

| 28. |  | Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness from Continuum International Publishing Group Price: $12.89 Customer Review: This beautiful re-imaging of the Psalms speaks directly to the heart. Ms. Merrill succeeds in making each Psalm a meditation on Divine Love; the joy that comes from embracing it, and the pain that results when our interior enemy, fear, distances us from that Love, the Source of our Being. Each Psalm... |

| 29. |  | Adam and His Kin: The Lost History of Their Lives and Times from Arrow Press Price: $9.00 Customer Review: This book was one of the materials needed for a section in "Green Book" for middle school English (which I teach). It's goal is to present Genesis in a more interesting way. I think it did an above average job of it, but still really probably isn't the most exciting reading material for children... |

After searching the bookshelves for well over a year and struggling to find techniques and theory about magick I was finally fortunate enough to come across this book.... |

| 31. |  | Psalms: The Prayer Book of the Bible from Augsburg Fortress Publishers Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  This is one of those good books that actually treat the Psalms for what they are: prayers. Many introductions and commentaries neglect this, treating the Psalms as though they were history, instruction or whatever. While history, instruction and a lot else is in the Psalms, their primary purpose is... |
