Author: John Sailhamer
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575678799

Structurally, the book may be considered an exegetical summary of Old Testament history. Not only does it recount the important events of God's dealing with Israel, but it also explains the significance of those events to Israel's history.
