Introduction<br >There are at least two ways to read the Old Testament: in the<br >past tense or in the present tense. Read in the past tense, the<br >centuries from which the religious heritage of the Western world<br >derives begin to come alive, particularly the nineteenth to the<br >second centuries B.c. Shifting political dominance in the lands<br >bordering the Mediterranean, the rise and fall of empires in the<br >Tigris-Euphrates and Nile valleys--spreading out into areas in<br >northern Africa, southern Europe and western Asia--all become<br >the scene of absorbing action. And the people caught in the action<br >are not only empire makers; they are the progenitors of our lin-<br >gulstle development, the parents of our culture, the founders of<br >our law, definitely the instigators of our religious cults and cus-<br >toms. We begin to care about their vicissitudes and marvel at<br >their insights. But however expansive the effect of reading the<br >Old Testament in the past tense, the ancients remain the ancients<br >while we are the moderns.<br > Reading the Old Testament in the present tense is a more dis-<br >turbing, even disruptive, experience. We start with a feeling of<br >identification.

The Canaanites seemed no fiercer to the ad-<br >vancing Hebrews than lhe Indians to the American colonists; and<br >neither Hebrews nor colonials paid any attention to the fact that<br >the land they pre-empted belonged to already established land-<br >needy groups.<br > In the pages of this library of thirty- ulne slender books bound<br >
