This textbook introduces the "big" (catholic) canon of the Christian Old Testament, which serves as the holy scripture for both Jews and Christians. It encompasses the Torah/Pentateuch, historical books, wisdom literature, and prophetic writings. Each book's origin is explored within its historical and religious context, illustrating its connection to the faith history of Israel. The author emphasizes the dual nature of the Old Testament as a unifying and separating text for Jews and Christians, highlighting its contemporary significance. The new 9th edition has been thoroughly updated to enhance clarity and comprehension, particularly for students.
