Introduction to the Old Testament
A Liberation Perspective
(Revised and Updated)
by Anthony R. Ceresko, osfs
PhP 329 384 pp.
This thorough revision
and updating of the popular Introduction to the Old Testament brings a
fresh new look to a classroom classic. Introduction to the Old Testament
has become a favorite text for those using a liberative approach to Biblical
Studies. While covering standard issues such as literary formation of
the texts and their religious themes, Ceresko goes behind the texts to
uncover the social background and the vital history of competing interests
reflected in the scriptures.
Applying Norman Gottwald's thesis on Israel's origins, Ceresko argues
that Israel was formed through a process of social revolution, inspired
by the memory of runaway slaves and their worship of a God whose cut mandated
radical social equality and justice. The subsequent history is viewed
in terms of the people's faithfulness to this covenant, expressed not
only in worship but in the practice of justice and mercy.
