John J. Collins's Introduction to the Hebrew Bible is one of the most
popular introductory textbooks in colleges and seminary classrooms.
Enriched by decades of classroom teaching, it is aimed explicitly at
motivated students, regardless of their previous exposure to the Bible
or faith commitments. The third edition is presented in a new and
engaging format with new maps and images. An index has been added to
the volume for the first time. In order to enhance classroom use,
Collins's major text has now been divided into four volumes, one for
each major part of the Hebrew Bible. This volume focuses on the
Torah/Pentateuch. Here, Collins explores the Near Eastern context and
the nature of the pentateuchal narrative and provides helpful insights
into Gensis thorugh Deuteronomy. The volume also contains the
introduction to Collins's major text and is now available with even
more student-friendly features, including charts, maps, photographs,
chapter summaries, and bibliographies for further reading. Collins
presents the current state of historical, archaeological, and literary
understandings of the biblical text and engages the student in
questions of significance and interpretation for the contemporary
world.
