"A superb introduction to the Old Testament; engaging and highly readable with detailed timelines and graphics. Professor Drane masterfully conveys the living and sacred nature of the text while simultaneously addressing the tough questions raised by Biblical scholarship and interpretation."

"The latest edition of John Drane's Introducing the Old Testament confirms its position as a rich and reliable guide to the diverse books of the Old Testament. Drane brilliantly brings out both the Old Testament's rootedness in ancient Israelite culture and also its power to speak beyond the bounds of time and place to all people interested in God's work in creation and history."
—Philip Esler
