In 1948 the author of this volume 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 book is intended primarily for students on the freshman and sophomore level. While some attention has been given to background materials such as geography and antiquities, the chief purpose of the writer has been to present the leading facts in the history of the Hebrew people as given in the Old Testament.

I would give it a 4/5 but I'm docking a star because it's getting out of date. This is especially apparent with the archaeology section wherein it's referred to as a "new science". For perspective, W. Albright's revolutionary work in Biblical archaeology was published less than 10 years before this book. Also, there are some questionable ethnic generalizations. E.G. the author claims the Jews became especially good a merchandising because of the Babylonian captivity (cue Yogurt from Spaceballs). You could get away with that in '62 but not so much nowadays.
Assessment: Good as a general timeline and basic overview of Hebrew history, but it's not aging well.
