"My favorite textbook ever. My religion class read it cover to cover, and each chapter corresponded with relevant OT readings. I am thankful that this book offered historical connections and realistic literary interpretations. This book does not demand that you believe in any god, and it does not attempt to make you a believer."
"Although this was bought as a text for a graduate course on the Old Testament, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of Scripture. It is very readable and has great background information that leads to a deeper understanding of the various passages and books of the Old Testament."
"It's good as far as textbooks go. I wouldn't purchase it, however, because Wikipedia and other internet sites make reference books like this one obsolete. The best part about it for me was that it corresponded exactly to a course on the Hebrew Bible that I took from Coogan. I didn't even need lecture notes because it was all in the book."
