Reviews

You don't have to read all of Dale Ralph Davis' six Old Testament commentaries (although you'd enjoy them, I'm sure). In 2006 Davis produced a book called The Word Became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative Texts. While this book focuses on preaching the OT, it also gives a clear outline of Davis' approach to studying the OT, and I believe you'd be hard pressed to find a better overview of OT Bible study anywhere. The book is only 154 pages long, it's easy to read, but it doesn't lack depth. Check it out.

Endorsements

"Dale Ralph Davis has written a wonderfully straightforward, readable book entitled, The Word Became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative Texts (Christian Focus; pb., 154 pp.). Davis, like Goldsworthy, laments how complicated we have sometimes made biblical interpretation and instead outlines a basic approach to careful, sensible reading which opens up the theology of Old Testament narratives. This is one of those books that makes you want to preach after reading it!"

Preaching.com Bible and Bible Survey Review 2007

"With many examples, and that's exactly what Davis describes. With many examples, and interesting illustrations, he teaches us how to grapple honestly with what sometimes can be intimidating, difficult and uncomfortable portions of Scripture...This book is not only suitable for preachers and teachers, but can be read with great profit by all Christians who want to get more of a handle on Old Testament narrative."
