A Survey of the Old Testament: Audio Lectures

By: Andrew E. Hill, John H. Walton

Narrated by: Andrew E. Hill, John H. Walton

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, A Survey of the Old Testament: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

The purpose of studying the Old Testament is to understand God and his redemptive work more fully. However, this goal is complicated by the fact that it was transmitted through a very different language and culture from our own. A Survey of the Old Testament: Audio Lectures provides an indispensable guide for undergraduate students and other listeners by exploring the literary, historical, and theological issues behind the Old Testament and its various books. For each Old Testament book, the survey addresses background information, purpose, message, structure, and major themes. Chapters introducing each major section of the Old Testament are included, as are chapters dealing with issues of interpretation, geography, archaeology, history, formation of the Old Testament canon, and the Old Testament's relationship to the New Testament.

Great audio lecture

I really enjoyed the lecture. I was a bit disappointed that it was the lecture and not audio of the book. I guess ill have to tackle this one the old fashioned way.

great supplement to the text

I love how the two authors trade off different sections of the book. They each have their unique perspectives to add to the overall experience of the text.

Highly Recommend

Excellent supplement to Walton & Hills textbook of the same name. It is not an audio version of the text but lectures around the content of each topic so it multiplies the learning experience.

Superb OT Survey

Fresh information, details are otherwise might not be included in another course. I teach all Testament in new Testament surveys at the University level. I would recommend this one highly.

,Well-done and extremely thoughtful

This is a beautiful and thoughtful survey of the Old Testament. Whether for catholics protestants or orthodox christians, this is extremely valuable and open to all. And maybe most importantly those who are uncertain of their beliefs.
