The Text of the Old Testament

An Introduction to the Biblia Hebraica

About this book

Major revision of a landmark work in Old Testament scholarship

Ernst Würthwein's introduction to the  Biblia Hebraica has long served as a textbook for generations of students interested in the history of the Old Testament text and the problems of textual criticism. From its first appearance in 1952 to the fifth German edition in 1988, the book was faithfully updated by Würthwein himself in light of new research. But now a new edition of "Würthwein" is due.

While staying true to the original structure and character of Würthwein's classic work, Alexander Fischer has rewritten the text completely to bring it up to date with the new  Quinta edition of  Biblia Hebraica. Besides updating information throughout, this edition includes a new chapter on the texts from the Qumran. This third edition of  The Text of the Old Testament will be an indispensable resource for serious students of the  Biblia Hebraica and Old Testament exegesis.
