Hess</b>, Denver Seminary<br/><br/>"Brotzman's introduction has been a helpful guide for over two decades. His collaboration with Tully in this new edition ensures that the volume will continue to be useful as an entrée into the bewildering world of Old Testament textual criticism. I am pleased to see that the new edition refines the goal of textual criticism in light of our current understanding of textual composition and transmission in antiquity."<br/>--<b>Bill T. Arnold</b>, Asbury Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"This updated version of Brotzman's original work provides a welcome introduction to Old Testament textual criticism that is well informed by recent scholarship. Incorporating current theories and analyzing newly developed resources, Brotzman and Tully's judicious work gives students a firm foundation for understanding textual criticism in its unique Old Testament environment and for practicing it responsibly."<br/>--<b>John H. Walton</b>, Wheaton College<br/><br/>"This introduction to Old Testament textual criticism has been expanded and updated throughout without sacrificing readability and the practical features that have made it a popular seminary textbook. The complicated and evolving theories on the textual history of the Old Testament are explained clearly, while the new appendix discussing the goal of textual criticism allows the authors to avoid oversimplifying the issues. The chapter introducing <i>BHS</i> has been expanded to include <i>BHQ</i> and compares their textual apparatuses. Such updates will enable this textbook to serve the next generation of seminary students."<br/>--<b>John A. Cook</b>, Asbury Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"This practical book shows readers how to take first steps in the practice of Old Testament textual criticism and how it is relevant to exegesis. The authors present a comprehensive yet readable survey of the transmission history of the Old Testament text, they show how to make proper use of the standard critical editions of the Hebrew Bible, and they present a workable approach for actually doing Old Testament textual criticism. By unpacking the entire critical apparatus of <i>Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia</i> for the book of Ruth, <i> </i>they provide expert guidance in how to decipher and utilize the textual information found there. I enthusiastically recommend it!"<br/>--<b>Richard A. Taylor</b>, Dallas Theological Seminary<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ellis R.
