A brilliant work! If you consider yourself an evangelical and need a comprehensive, informed, and fair treatment of the Old Testament, this is undoubtedly the introduction of choice.

Old Testment Survey (2nd edition) is a (if not THE) standard text on the background, content, literary quality, and message of the Old Testament.
The authors are committed to the inspiration and the authority of the Scriptures. If you want to know what they are using in seminary OT classrooms...this is it!
