### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Through
*by J***R on November 7, 2024*

This book is incredibly thorough and well written. I may not agree with Kitchen on everything, but he does an incredible job of shedding light on historical evidences throughout the Old Testament.

*by G***H on July 17, 2015*

This is an excellent reference book that I would recommend to all those interested in the History and Archaeology of the Old Testament. Whilst there are plenty of books around that help us get a better feel for First Century Judaism and Greco-Roman Culture and thus better understand the background of the New Testament, there are not as many such tools for the Old Testament - which is not surprising since the periods it talks above cover well over 1,000 years (and far longer depending on how you see the Creation Account).Kitchen does a fine job of treating the Old Testament seriously and seeing how it stands up against modern understanding for the Ancient World. Whilst I have read the entire book (and well worth it), it is also a great reference tool to get background info - not just for preaching but for a better understanding of the world as it was then.I find especially interesting the argument that much in Genesis fits well into the time period that long pre-dates Moses / Exodus period (whatever date you put on that). I also find convincing that the cultural background we see through much of the Old Testament fits nicely into the time period that it purports to be reporting on - thus making it quite difficult to accept that it was "made up" in the Babylonian Captivity as some suggest.The Author crams quite a lot into this book! The only downside, I felt, was the final chapter - where he does get quite "angry" with those who disregard the reliability of the Old Testament - though I would recommend his examination of Wellhausen and the whole J E D P approach to the Pentateuch.Highly recommended :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Old Testament is Reliable.
*by E***N on May 17, 2012*

After 500 pages of text and 100 pages of endnotes, Kitchen concludes that the Old Testament comes out remarkably well, so long as its writings and writers are treated fairly and evenhandedly, in line with independent data, open to all. The words fairly and evenhandedly are directed toward many scholars who have mishandled the text of O.T.The independent data that Kitchen refers to come from 5000 years of handwritten texts (p. 470), more than a dozen languages (Egyptian, Hittite, Ugaritic, Hebrew, etc.), a dozen or more nation states, archaeology, and histories contemporary with the O.T. It has taken Professor Kitchen more than 50 years to digest all of these independent data, about which he has often written. In this book on the O.T., Kitchen draws upon all of his learning and the notes on this project (p. xiii) to produce a mostly readable and even entertaining (except for those whom he soundly criticizes for their presuppositional scholarship) survey. Here are a few selections from Kitchen's survey.The O.T. books of Kings and Chronicles provide a magnificent chronology of the Hebrew Kings based upon the facts. The Prophecy of Isaiah is a unified 8th century B.C. document based upon the facts. The Prophecy of Daniel (containing both Hebrew and Aramaic languages) is a 6th -5th century document based upon the facts. Deuteronomy is a 14th century covenantal document based upon the facts. Joshua and Judges fit perfectly within the 13th-12th centuries based upon the facts; and the Patriarchal narratives likewise fit within the cultural milieu of 20th -17th centuries B.C.Kitchen has accomplished the remarkable task of assembling the O.T. facts that speak for themselves. The facts bear testimony to the trustworthiness of the O.T. This is what you expect from a book claiming to be the Word of God.
