Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Brown's introduction surveys Bright's place in the field and analyzes the various differences between the earlier editions. His appendix offers an excellent and succinct synopsis of issues in the recent discussions of writing a history of Israel.”
John H. Hayes
Professor of Old Testament, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
“John Bright's great history of Israel is now available again for those who wish to see the sweep of Israel's story and appreciate the way in which its history and its faith are parts of a single whole. William Brown's introduction and appendix bring the history up-to-date in many ways and remind us afresh of Bright's enduring contribution to our understanding of the world out which the Old Testament came.”
Patrick D. Miller
Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary
“A History of Israel is in every sense of the word a classic in the literature of theological education. Its substance and form express Jon Bright's conviction that Israel's faith was an essential factor in shaping the course of that People's story. It remains a refreshing alternative to the secularism and skepticism of much current writing about Israel's history.”
James Luther Mays
Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and Old Testament Interpretation, Union Theological Seminary, Virginia
