The story that begins everything."In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." From those first words flows the foundational narrative of the entire Bible — and in this opening volume of The Holy Bible series, the Book of Genesis is finally given room to breathe. This is not a paraphrase, and not a replacement for Scripture. The sacred text remains at the center of every chapter, drawn faithfully from the American Standard Version, with a rich narrative reflection woven around it — illuminating the people, the places, and the promises without ever displacing the words themselves.

Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter’s The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible’s many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God. In so doing, Alter shows, these writers reshaped not only history, but also the art of storytelling itself.

A masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility, Robert Alter's translation of the Hebrew Bible, now complete, reanimates one of the formative works of our culture. Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testament as a source of literary power and spiritual inspiration. From the family frictions of Genesis and King David's flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job's incendiary questioning of God's ways, these magnificent works of world literature resonate with a startling immediacy.

Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt. They had been slaves for four hundred years. They were about to leave. Out of Egypt is the second volume in the Holy Bible Series — a complete narrative retelling of the Exodus, the wilderness, and the conquest of Canaan, drawn from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua, and told with the full literary weight of the American Standard Version. Inside this volume: The Bondage — These are the names. A new Pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph. Four hundred years of slavery. Bricks without straw.

The architectural design of Biblical literature relies on a profound, highly sophisticated structural network of historical repetitions, poetic echoes, and covenantal developments. While certain key figures such as Abraham, Moses, and David receive vast quantities of textual real estate, commanding entire books and meticulous genealogical frameworks, there are specific instances where the Holy Spirit embeds an extraordinarily dense theological truth into an absolute minimum of narrative space.

In this updated edition of the popular textbook An Introduction to the Old Testament, Walter Brueggemann and Tod Linafelt introduce the listener to the broad theological scope of the Old Testament, treating some of the most important issues and methods in contemporary biblical interpretation. This clearly written textbook focuses on the literature of the Old Testament as it grew out of religious, political, and ideological contexts over many centuries in Israel's history.

In our modern age the biblical Genesis flood account has been probed and analyzed for answers to scientific, apologetic, and historical questions. It is a text that has called forth flood geology, fueled searches for remnants of the ark on Mount Ararat, and inspired a full-size replica of Noah's ark in a biblical theme park. Some claim that the very veracity of Scripture hinges on a particular reading of the flood narrative. But do we understand what we are reading? Longman and Walton urge us to ask, what might the biblical author have been saying to his ancient audience? 

The Book of Lamentations was written after the Babylonians had invaded the land, slaughtered the populace, and brought about national extinction. What remained for Jerusalem and Judah?
