Review

"Here is a text that will instruct its readers, no matter what level of expertise they bring to it. The author converses with her contemporary lay reader in a winsome manner, knowing well the cultural chasm that exists for many Western readers of the OT. At the same time, her years as both graducate student and professor are evident in her selection and presentation of key themes that introduce the OT. Both the text and the endnotes are goldmines of historical and theological observations and resources." (Elaine A. Phillips, Bulletin for Biblical Research, 19.3, 2009)"A helpful first entry point into the OT." (J. Day, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, 33.5, 2009)"Using the image of a dysfunctional closet as her organizing metaphor, she provides a framework within which Old Testament data can be arranged and understaood. Wherever possible she links the biblical material with the New Testament references. Extensive endnotes are evidence of the research that undergirds this book, but the writing style is reader-friendly and captures one's imagination. Charts and illustrations throughout the book provide visual reinforcement of what is discussed. This is a very enjoyable introduction for beginners." (Diane Bergant, C.S.A., The Bible Today, July 2009)"Second only to my visiting Israel is The Epic of Eden in bringing the words of the Bible to life for me, at least as regards our watered-down understanding of the immensely important Biblical and historical concepts of covenant and redemption. . . . For anyone who needs to clean their Old Testament closet, The Epic of Eden is a wonderful organizational tool." (Peter M. Lopez, Beauty of the Bible (beautyofthebible.com), January 10, 2009)"The Old Testament tells of God's creation and the redemption of his people. Granted, it is a story that climaxes in the New Testament, but the New Testament cannot be understood apart from the Old. Christians have neglected the study of the Old Testament because (if we are honest) we find it confusing and distant from Jesus Christ, the center of our faith. Sandra Richter's The Epic of Eden helps the reader discover the riches and passion of the Old Testament story. This book will not only expand your knowledge, it will deepen your spiritual life." (Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College)

Sandra L. Richter is an amazing professor! She educates you in a down to earth way. You feel very enlightened and want to study with her more. She explains in detail and simplifies complex situations in the Holy Bible to the level an average person can realize how these people feel and live. There are many "Ah Ha moments." Your eyes will be opened and you will truly see how great God is, I felt as though I had looked through a window into our history and saw everything in living action.I recommend this book very highly.

I have been studying the Bible for over sixty years. And I would say that if you can read only one book that explains the Old Testament and how it delves into the New Testament, this is that book. Sandra L. Richter presents an approach that I had never before encountered. Yet it is quite understandable to a layperson. Charts and diagrams are included. I also saw the accompanying DVD. Hearing the author and seeing her personality added an enjoyable dimension to her teaching.

The Epic of Eden provides a highly readable, informative, interesting and relatively concise guide to the Old Testament for everyone seeking greater knowledge about the foundation of the New Testament. Dr. Richter skillfully traces the Old Testament timeline focusing on Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. Her lucid writing style, charts, maps, and glossary are helpful in orienting readers. This book also motivated me to research a wide range of Old Testament topics. Most importantly, Professor Richter's in-depth knowledge and extensive experience gave me the confidence to trust the accuracy of her research and writing. Highly recommended!

This book is exceptional. I have now recommended to both my Christian friends and Jewish friends. It is more than I hoped for. Sandra not only makes the Old Testament come alive historically she also shows that she an understanding of its meaning for the Christian today. She makes it very relevant. Highly recommend this book to both Christians and I believe those of the Jewish faith will Love it as well.

If you are looking for a book that organizises the Old Testament in a readable way this is it. As a Christian I've always struggled with my understanding of the connection of the two covenants.nThis book harmonizes the covenants into one of God's redemption. Great read. Sometimes technical but keeps you wanting more.

Christians in general do not seem to grasp how cultural the Old Testament, so miss the richness of what the early followers of Jesus understood. Dr. Sandra Reichter does an excellent job of explaining without complicating some key elements we miss. What a blessing to the Body of Christ is this Study! Read this book! You will not be sorry.

If you've ever struggled with the Old Testament and what it means for Christians, I would recommend this book. The Epic of Eden serves as a textbook for my Intro To Old Testament class, but it is so much more. Richter writes with a familiarity that makes it feel like you're being discipled instead of being lectured. High recommend.

I wish that I had read Dr. Richter's book - or had the level of understanding I've come away with after reading it - many years ago. I wish this had been required reading as a prerequisite for my seminary time at Dallas Theological Seminary. Invest the money and get a copy - you won't regret Dr. Richter's fun, approachable, gracious, and memorable style of presenting this 'Christian Entry into the Old Testament.' I've also left a comment for Mr. Wilson, who at the time of this was the sole 3 star review of the book. I think Mr. Wilson's review is unfair and misguided. Expecting an author to provide answers - or even take a firm position - on topics that are outside of the scope of the work is poor scholarship. Richter is fair and gracious and leaves room for others to stand upon her shoulders as she is doing and credits those who have come before her. Excellent book!
