Lawrence Boadts Reading the Old Testament was recognized as a classic almost from its date of publication in 1984. Without in any way diminishing its famed clarity, judiciousness, and theological depth, two prominent scholars, Richard Clifford and Daniel Harrington, have brought the book into the twentyfirst century. In this new revised and updated edition, they have: Updated the archaeological reports Incorporated the research of the last three decades of biblical scholarship Supplied new or redrawn illustrations and maps Increased attention to JewishChristian biblical interpretations Continued the ChristianJewish dialogue that was a feature of the original Larry Boadt was a longtime generative force in Old Testament study. This book, as a part of his legacy, assures that his influence will continue to be generative and rewarding for those who seriously engage his work....This is, in sum, a major offer for serious, faithful reading, and we may be grateful that it is now issued in a new, welcome edition. Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia We owe a great debt of gratitude to Richard Clifford and Daniel Harrington for bringing this classic introduction to new life. It still speaks with the clarity of Larry Boadt, but with new energy. Irene Nowell, St. Johns University Richard Clifford and Daniel Harrington were the right persons to revise this book. Like Larry Boadt, they are most accomplished scholars and teachers with a keen pastoral sense. Leading people to appreciate the Bible was Larry Boadts mission in life. This book is a fitting tribute to his fidelity to this mission.' Leslie J. Hoppe, OFM Catholic Theological Union 'When Larry Boadt was asked why his book was so popular, he replied simply: 'I knew what students needed; I provided it.' The needs are still there and the book still provides for them. Since the book was written, much has changed in some areas of Old Testament study. Dick Clifford and Dan Harrington are well qualified to bring it uptodateand they have done a measured job.' Antony F. Campbell, SJ Jesuit Theological College, Parkville, Australia
