Read this for an Old Testament Introduction. I haven't read any other OT introductions, but this volume provides consistent, conservative interpretations on the problem passages of the OT, such as the date of the exodus, the historicity of Israel, and the conquest. The book touches on some of the foundational issues of interpretation and introduction before giving a summary of each book. I don't agree with the author's view of inspired textual updating, but even in that view, they stay within traditional orthodoxy.

I would recommend the book to those who are looking for a more in-depth survey of the OT, not for an introductory survey.
