Edward J. Young (1907-1968) was considered one of the ablest conservative scholars in the field of Old Testament, served for many years as Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia.
H. H. Rowley
in Bulletin of the Society for Old Testament Study
"The author has made himself, in the space of a relatively few
years, easily foremost among conservative scholars of the Old
Testament..Of the conservative books on this subject this is easily
the best." --The Irish Evangelical
"We believe this work of Dr. Young's will hold the field for years
to come. There is no introduction to the Old Testament to equal it.
. . . One of the finest features of the book is the history given
of the literary criticism of the Old Testament Scriptures. . . .
This book surely embodies the results of a tremendous amount of
work." -- Evangelical Quarterly
"We shall now be at no loss for an answer if we are asked to
recommend an Old Testament Introduction which on the one hand is up
to date and on the other presents and upholds the most conservative
case for the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, the unity of
Isaiah and of Zechariah, the historicity of Jonah and Esther, the
exilic date of Daniel, the Davidic authorship of many of the
Psalms, and the like. For here is the very book." -- Journal of
Bible and Religion
". . . a recent and definitive study of the Old Testament from the
standpoint of historic orthodox Protestantism . . . discussions of
the problems of higher criticism and general analysis of the book
are very comprehensive and include good bibliographies. The
discussion of the history of Pentateuchal criticism, for example,
begins with the Gnostic sects and is carried through to Pfeiffer's
S source!" Dr. Wilbur M. Smith
"It is the only work of its kind today from a conservative
standpoint. It is a must on the list of every man in this country
seriously interested in the interpretation of the Old Testament."
