Product Highlights

  • Named as one of the 850 Books for Biblical Expositors by the Master's Seminary

"A definitive study that takes it place in the front rank of works in the field, ably defends the conservative position against the attacks of critics, and is essential for evangelicals who wish to have an intelligent grasp of the Old Testament."

—Cyril J. Barber, The Minister's Library

"Leads the field in Old Testament Survey"

—Warren Wiersbe, A Basic Library for Bible Students


In this revised volume, Gleason Archer approaches the study of the Old Testament from both the general and the specific point of view. Dealing first with issues over which many scholars debate, Archer offers evidence to support the conservative view of:

  • Canonicity
  • Historicity
  • Inspiration
  • Textual problems
  • Higher criticism

The second section dissects each book of the Old Testament individually, presenting discussions of specific issues related to that particular book. Archer thoroughly covers such issues as:

  • Biblical creationism
  • Noah's ark and the flood
  • Authorship Chronology
  • Alleged language, style, and theme differences

A Survey of Old Testament Introduction is invaluable to students, scholars, and laymen who want to understand the conservative position of Old Testament issues and are not afraid to examine critical views.
