Designed for both Hebrew and non-Hebrew students, A Handbook to

Old Testament Exegesis offers a fresh, hands-on introduction to exegesis

of the Old Testament. William P. Brown begins not with the biblical text itself but

with the reader, helping students to identify their own interpretive lenses before

engaging the biblical text. Brown guides the student through a wide variety of

interpretive approaches, including modern methodologiesaEURO feminist, womanist,

Latino/a, queer, postcolonial, disability, and ecological approachesaEURO alongside

more traditional methods. This allows students to critically reflect on themselves

as bona fide interpreters. While covering a wide range of biblical passages, Brown

also highlights two common biblical texts throughout the work to help show how each

interpretive approach highlights different dimensions of the same texts. Students

will appreciate the value of an empathetic inquiry of Scripture that is both

inclusive of others and textually in-depth.
