Here we have the history of Israel from the exodus to the fall of the second temple (A.D. 70). A number of unusual features distinguish the work. Israel’s involvements with oth er nations is constantly outlined. Is rael’s foreign relations have a very real bearing on her history and char acter. Throughout the book the Chris tian theologians’ interpretation of the material is presented. One might call this a theological history. Geneologi- cal and chronological tables provide much material often difficult to find when one wants it: king lists, high priests from 350 B.C. to A.D. 70, the Herodian family, rulers of Judea and Rome. A bibliography and index will be found to be very helpful. Because of the long period covered, the book is closely written, and it will prove to be a lucid and succinct manual, not too technical for the average reader. The author is Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester in England. 254 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing House, Grand Rapids; $3.91.
