I have both of those works, and indeed, have used both of them a lot in my studies in the OT books...I haven't read either of them, but they have been on my want list for a couple of decades. Gleason Archer's A Survey of Old Testament Introduction was highly regarded years ago, and has quite a few 5 star reviews on Amazon, as does his collaboration with R. Laird Harris, and Bruce K. Waltke, Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament. Also with many stellar reviews.
Yeah. one of these days I'm going to pick up one or both. I've also heard good things about Donald Guthrie's NT Intro.I have both of those works, and indeed, have used both of them a lot in my studies in the OT books...
A really good NT introduction was by Donald Guthrie, but don't know if still being published and available.
The best OT introduction book I have read was by RK Harrison, Introduction to the Old testament, but was around 1300 pages, and was not a light read.Yeah. one of these days I'm going to pick up one or both. I've also heard good things about Donald Guthrie's NT Intro.
Even if a book is out of print, ABEbook, or Bookfinder, not to mention Amazon, usually have used copies for sale.
I have the NT Intro by Carson, Moo, and Morris. Really good reference book.
Thanks for the reminder, that is another OT Intro that I had heard of, read good things on, and was/is highly recommended. So many books ... so little time & moneyThe best OT introduction book I have read was by RK Harrison, Introduction to the Old testament, but was around 1300 pages, and was not a light read.
I believe was written in late 1960's, revised 1970's, so dated in some areas, but really does a great job in refuting higher critical criticisms of the OT. He held to solid conservative views in regards to dates and authorship!Thanks for the reminder, that is another OT Intro that I had heard of, read good things on, and was/is highly recommended.

I really liked that he supported conservative viewpoints in regards to history, authorship, and inspiration of the OT, as did Harrison.Archer's attack on JEDP is about as good as it gets. He also knew around 12 languages.
