Does that discuss the [i]content[/i] of the books of the Old Testament or just how we got them? The content seems to be the reason the prof. wanted that particular book. There are a number of great books on the "origin" of the Scriptures and the development of the canon (including "Where We Got the Bible"), but I don't think that your prof. was looking for a book on that.


Maybe there is another book that could have been used, but I just don't think it's all that big of a deal.

Well...I know the Prof. told us it was Protestant and that we were using it for the Old Testament overview it gave, but I'm entirely annoyed that we are using a Protestant text when so many good Catholic texts are available on the Old Testament. Having to sit at FUS and read a chapter on why the Bible only has 66 books and how the Protestant canon of the Old Testament is the correct canon insults the senses to why I became Catholic and went to FUS in the first place. ugh.
