Summary
In this updated edition of the popular textbook An Introduction to the Old Testament, Walter Brueggemann and Tod Linafelt introduce the listener to the broad theological scope of the Old Testament, treating some of the most important issues and methods in contemporary biblical interpretation. This clearly written textbook focuses on the literature of the Old Testament as it grew out of religious, political, and ideological contexts over many centuries in Israel's history. Covering every book in the Old Testament (arranged in canonical order), the authors demonstrate the development of theological concepts in biblical writings from the Torah through postexilic Judaism.
Incorporating the most current scholarship, this new edition also includes concrete tips for doing close examinations of the Old Testament text and a chapter on ways to read Scripture and respond in light of pressing contemporary issues, such as economic inequality, racial and gender justice, and environmental degradation. This introduction invites listeners to engage in the construction of meaning as they venture into these timeless texts.

A brief yet quite comprehensive overview of the Old Testament in an academic view
The nuanced views were carefully stated and leave room for the reader and listener to evaluate one's own view.

Disappointingly dense and pompous in tone
A book that seemingly wants to obscure rather than create understanding. Layers of long words weaving impressionistic clouds rather than the clear scholarship and assistance in understanding the texts that I was expecting from a much respected scholar.
