Inhaltsangabe:

The Old Testament is difficult for many readers to understand. How can the vengeful, angry God of the Old Testament be the same as the comforting, loving God of the New Testament? How can these old narratives of death, revenge, and morally wrong choices guide you as a Christian? To truly understand the New Testament, you have to wrestle with the Old Testament and things that might not make sense. Authors R. Reed Lessing and Andrew E. Steinmann guide you through the Old Testament to understand these often difficult and overlooked passages. Their conversational yet academic writing style makes learning about the Old Testament accessible to those at all points in their Bible reading journey. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter invite you to think more in-depth about what you just read and record your answers. To stretch your understanding, a list of resources for further reading is also included at the back of the book.
