Hernández This introductory textbook invites us to explore the depths and riches of the Old Testament and demonstrates its relevance for Christian readers. “This is a creative introduction to how to read the Old Testament well as an ancient text for today. Not overly technical, this helpful tool by an important Latino Old Testament scholar should serve a wide audience.” —M. DANIEL CARROLL R., Wheaton College and Graduate School “What a delightful book!

T. WRIGHT, former Bishop of Durham; University of St. Andrews (emeritus); Wycliffe Hall, Oxford “As I read this book, I felt the excitement that I had when I first started read - ing Greek texts, when I sensed a vast new world opening up before me.
