A history of Israel published by Paternoster and Eerdmans in 1963 (254 pages) with the subtitle From the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple, revised in 1983; a further revision by David F. Payne appeared in 1998. It tells the political history of Israel among the surrounding nations over about thirteen centuries, and is the Old Testament companion to his New Testament History (1969).
