The Good Life in the Old Testament

  "...Whybray, a prestigious Old Testament scholar, moves easily through all the books of the Protestant canon... showing that "the good life" means different things in different life circumstances. In this way he also provides insight into the social world behind the respective texts."- The Bible Today, April/ May 2006
"This comprehensive study by Whybray is an excellent resource on the conception of the ‘good life' as presented in the OT.... Written in a lucid, enjoyable, and informative style, this book will interest a wide array of scholars, students, and ministers."- D. Charles Smith, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 33 No. 1 January 2007 -- Religious Studies Review
