Ernst Wurthwein's The Old Testament Text is a revision of his initial, and field defining work on the Hebrew Bible. This version is thoroughly updated and reflects the most recent developments and what we have learned from text critical efforts and the appearance of new manuscripts.
Most significantly his treatments of the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, and the Peshitta, with attention given to the
Dead Sea Scrolls, are extensively revised. Additionally, Wurthwein adds, for this edition, a discussion on the theological significance of textual criticism, the
history of the text, and an appendix that lists extensive resources for text-critical research.
Finally, the book is organized around the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and as such makes an excellent introductory text book and/or reference book for beginning and advanced students of Old Testament exegesis, or advanced Hebrew students.

Biblical Exegesis and the Formation of Christian Culture
Frances Young
Retail Price: $24.95
CBD Price: $16.99
Buy 32 or more of this product and pay only $16.14 each.
( Only 3 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
In Biblical Exegesis and Cultural Formation outstanding scholar Francis Young shows how the educational system of the Graeco-Roman era influenced Patristic exegetical efforts highlighting how simple approaches, over time, evolved into more nuanced understandings of the interpretive process.
Ultimately, Young argues, what ended up happening is that Christians, using the Roman educational system, built an alternative social and intellectual culture that eventually challenged and overcame the pagan culture of Rome. A fascinating and highly informative study on Christian history and interpretation, anyone who wants to know how Christian interpretations of the Bible have, and perhaps can again, affect the world around them will find this book most helpful.

Participatory Biblical Exegesis: A Theology of Biblical Interpretation
Matthew Levering
CBD Price: $25.00
( Only 2 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
"Levering compellingly argues for the legitimacy of a type of biblical interpretation once prevalent among the fathers of the church and medieval theologians, one that includes a participatory encounter with the divine.
