520    Steven McKenzie here surveys the historical books of the 
       Old Testament -- Joshua through Ezra-Nehemiah -- for their
       historical context, contents, form, and themes, 
       communicating them clearly and succinctly for an 
       introductory audience. / By providing a better 
       understanding of biblical history writing in its ancient 
       context, McKenzie helps readers come to terms with 
       tensions between the Bible's account and modern historical
       analyses. Rather than denying the results of historical 
       research or dismissing its practitioners as wrongly 
       motivated, he suggests that the source of the perceived 
       discrepancy may lie not with the Bible but with the way in
       which it has been read. He also calls into question 
       whether the genre of the Bible's historical books has been
       properly understood.
