The Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament. Issue 1. Textbook. Rostislav Snigirev, Archpriest

The book proposed is the first release in a series of manuals to study the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament. The publications of this series are designed primarily for students of spiritual schools, which led to the structure and content of both the entire series and each release separately. The publication is based on lectures on the Old Testament, biblical archeology and Palestinations, read by the author in the Kaluga Theological Seminary in the 1996-2006 academic years. The real series of manuals is written on the basis of the urgent need of spiritual schools in such textbooks to study the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament, which would not only take into account the best achievements of domestic and foreign biblicalists, but were also based on the patristic tradition of the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Understanding the difficulty of the task, we hope to see the comments and tips of readers, especially students and students.
