The Heart of Hebrew History: A Study of the Old Testament

In 1948 Hester was invited by the Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention to prepare a textbook on the Old Testament for use by college students. The Heart of Hebrew History is the result of that assignment. Intended primarily for students on the freshman and sophomore level, it presents the leading facts and pivotal points in the history of the Hebrew people as given in the Old Testament. Attention is given to archaeology, literary texts, geography, and historical backgrounds.
