Old Testament | Professional literature for training, studies and practice

In the Old Testament category, you will find scholarly and practical literature on the central writings of the Hebrew Bible. The titles cover exegetical, theological, and historical topics—ranging from analyses of individual books such as Genesis or the Psalms, to themes like prophecy, creation myths, and the knowledge of God, to methodological approaches such as Pentateuchal criticism or redaction history. In addition to commentaries, textbooks, and introductions, the works also offer interdisciplinary perspectives, for example on intertextual references, cultural contexts, or reception in art and spirituality.

The selection is aimed at students, theologians, educators, and interested laypeople. It includes translations (e.g., the New American Standard Bible, the Septuagint), studies on specific themes such as election or coping with suffering, as well as materials for personal study, including Bible editions with commentaries or creative approaches such as art journaling. Technical terms such as “exegesis,” “Zion theology,” or “Deuteronomistic History” reflect the thematic breadth of the collection.
