“Professor Kent has undertaken the bold task of rearranging the writings of the Old Testament in their logical and chronological order. The aim is not merely to arrange the books, but to break them up into their component parts, and to indicate the sources from which they were originally drawn, presenting in a practical and intelligible form, the results of modern critical research. ‘The student’s Old Testament’ is to be divided into six volumes:—(1) ‘Narratives of the beginning of Hebrew history’; (2) ‘Historical and biographical narratives’; (3) ‘Prophetic sermons, epistles, and apocalypses’; (4) ‘Laws and traditional precedents,’ (5) ‘Songs, psalms, and prayers;’ (6) ‘Proverbs and didactic poems.’ The work is intended for general readers, not for specialists only.”—Lond.
