Human History and Divine Love introduces the Old Testament as both a collection of ancient historical texts and a divinely inspired Scripture, emphasizing the interaction between human authors, historical context, and God’s revelation. The book situates the Old Testament within the Ancient Near East, explains how the biblical text was transmitted through major manuscript traditions, and clarifies differences in Jewish and Christian organization and canon.
Designed for a faith based academic setting, the publication guides students through the Pentateuch, Israel’s history, prophecy, Psalms, and wisdom literature using structured readings, historical overviews, and thematic discussions, helping readers understand the Old Testament.
