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
Writings. Here, Collins explores Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles, as well
as the books of poetry and wisdom. Also included are sections on
Hebrew short stories, Daniel, and a number of the books belonging to
the Apocrypha. 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.
