The Church of Israel: Studies and Essays

Robert Hatch Kennett (1864-1932) was a prominent biblical scholar who made key contributions to Old Testament criticism. Originally published in 1933, this book gathers together essays and articles which represent Kennett’s most typical work, illustrating his distinctive role in the development of biblical study. Providing a supplement to Kennett’s more specialised writings, in particular the important Old Testament Essays (1928), the material is of a relatively simple and introductory character, suitable for readers less familiar with the details of the field. A detailed introduction is also contained, together with a select bibliography of Kennett’s works. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in biblical criticism and theology.
