books by Richard S. Hess     books:       Joshua: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries) Richard S. Hess InterVarsity Press, 1996 The book of Joshua memorializes a transitional episode in Israel's national history. The heroic figure Joshua, imbued with strength, courage and faith, leads the new generation of Israel across the Jordan and into the land of promise, conquering Canaanites and overseeing the allotment of the inheritance among the tribes.But the book of Joshua is foremost a story of God, who works powerfully on behalf of Israel and Joshua, fulfilling his covenant ...             "I Studied Inscriptions from Before the Flood": Ancient Near Eastern, Literary, and Linguistic Approaches to ... Eisenbrauns, 1994             Israels Messiah in the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls1 review Baker Academic, 2003 Good theological give and take between scholars This book was not what I expected. I guess I was expecting a treatise on the messianic concept in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Hebrew Scriptures. But the book turned out to be a series of essays by evangelical Old Testament scholars, followed by brief replies from critical reviewers. I really enjoyed this format. The most interesting article was the opening one by Daniel Block, where he tried ...             Israelite Religions: An Archaeological and Biblical Survey1 review Richard S. Hess Baker Academic, 2007 Informative I am a "minimalist" in analyzing the archaeology and Near Eastern references to the Bible, and Hess probably would fall into a centrist-to-maximalist" position. This book, nevertheless, is a cornu copiae of contemporary information which is presented in a logical and will-referenced order. When the author says there are six points to a position, he CLEARLY numbers them, quite unlike many other ...             Zion, City of Our God1 review Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999 Focused on Jerusalem - almost. This collection of essays by nine scholars seeks its focus on the city of Jerusalem during the Old Testament period and makes for interesting reading. The book is less about Zion than one might think as each author presents a fairly focused study relating to Zion. So, for example, the article on Zion in the prophets is a study on Ezekiel, where Zion is never even mentioned, rather than prophets ...             The Lord's Anointed: Interpretation of Old Testament Messianic Texts (Tyndale House Studies) (Tyndale House ... Baker Pub Group, 1995             Family in the Bible: Exploring Customs, Culture, and Context3 reviews Baker Academic, 2003 A biblical view of family In this volume seven experts deal with seven areas: the family in the Pentateuch, in the non-narrative sections, in the historical books, in the wisdom literature, in the prophetic literature, in the Gospels and Acts, and in the epistles. Together they provide a comprehensive account of the biblical understanding of the family. Old Testament scholar Gordon Wenham begins the discussion with the ...             Song of Songs (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms)4 reviews Richard S. Hess Baker Academic, 2005 Excellent resource for preaching, teaching and personal study!!! Hess' work will revolutionize one's understanding of this seemingly nebulous book of Hebrew poetry. It makes an excellent undergraduate textbook and can be read from cover to cover like an ordinary book. All of the Hebrew vocabulary is transliterated, making it accessible for those unfamiliar with the language. After a brief, but informative discussion of the history of Song of Songs ...             War in the Bible and Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century Eisenbrauns, 2008             Make the Old Testament Live: From Curriculum to Classroom1 review Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1998 Pedagogy Applied to Teaching of the Old Testament While there are thirteen different essays authored by thirteen different scholars in this book, there are some unifying factors that hold this work together. Two of these unifiers are the discussion of the purpose for teaching the OT and the focus on OT (if not Biblical) theology. The purpose of teaching the OT--In a book about how to teach the OT it might be wise to discuss why to teach it, ...             He Swore an Oath: Biblical Themes from Genesis 12-50 Richard S. Hess, Gordon J. Wenham Baker Pub Group, 1995 This book updates the latest scholarship on some of the most significant texts of Genesis. The essays, opinions, and ideas presented by leading Old Testament scholars respond to assumptions that Genesis does not recount people and events of the 20th Century. Includes discussions which look at fundamental perspectives for understanding the rest of the Bible.             Joshua: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries) Richard S.

Hess American Oriental Society, 1993 Don't buy it for information on roads and highways This is a book review that is not useful for obtaining information about roads and highways. There is one main paragraph of information on roads and highways (road width, paving, bridges etc.); the rest is a description of the sources he used, the methodology, what he incorporated in his study, etc. The lingo of the reviews conclusion solidified my decision not to buy it. Here's a snippet: "In ...             Translating The Bible: Problems and Prospects (Academic Paperback) T. & T. Clark Publishers, 2004 This topics covered in this volume, embracing both Old and New Testaments, range from detailed studies, such as how a particular biblical verse might be rendered from Hebrew or Greek to larger philosophical and hermeneutical issues-the importance of tradition; how translations come to be canonized; and how a modern translation can and should be evaluated.
