The story of the Exodus has been one of the most vexing historico-Biblical problems to confront scholars. The fundamental chronological problems are of the utmost complexity, yet they materially affect the view that is taken of Israel's religious development. Delivered in 1948, these lectures consider the Biblical traditions, the surviving extra-Biblical texts, and the archaeological evidence.

An elegant and accessible introduction to the Old Testament, covering all aspects of the text.Harold Henry Rowley discusses the various aspects of the Old Testament in a book whose purpose is, in the author’s own words, to “help the readers to a fuller apprehension of the Holy Book”. Rowley’s analysis, the result of many years of thorough and detailed study, introduces the reader to the Old Testament in its historical, archaeological, religious and metaphysical contexts, and emphasises its relevance to understanding the New Testament.Combining academic rigour with a clear and readable style, The Rediscovery of the Old Testament is an invaluable text not just for scholars and students, but also for general readers interested in advancing their understanding of the Bible.
