Engaging the Old Testament - How to Read Biblical Narrative, Poetry, and Prophecy Well

Dominick S. Hernandez

This introductory textbook invites students into the depths and riches of the Old Testament and shows the Old Testament’s relevance for Christian readers. Rising Latino evangelical Old Testament scholar Dominick Hernandez demonstrates how to read Old Testament texts well and put the ancient written word into practice in our day and age.

Hernandez shows that four core commitments put readers on the right trajectory for reading and applying the Old Testament to their lives: (1) reading humbly, (2) reading successively, (3) reading entirely, and (4) reading deliberately. Students will learn how to become better readers of the text and how to read select Old Testament passages well, paying attention to how the biblical authors used rhetorical techniques to provoke readers to action.
