UNLOCK THE MESSAGE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

This accessible, full-color textbook provides a comprehensive survey of the Old Testament, focusing on the message of each book. Written from an irenic, evangelical perspective, it unpacks what the biblical authors most intended to communicate in the Scripture that Jesus read. With a gospel-centered approach, this textbook portrays the Old Testament as the foundation for a fulfillment found in the New Testament. By exploring the essential issues of who, when, where, and why, readers gain a deeper understanding of the biblical context.

ENGAGING AND INFORMATIVE CONTENT

Each chapter is written by an Old Testament scholar who is a skilled teacher at one of the finest evangelical schools across North America and specializes in the biblical book covered. The text is enhanced through nearly two hundred high-resolution photographs, over eighty charts and tables, and twelve color maps, making it an engaging and informative resource for students of the Bible. The clarity of the biblical message is presented in a very readable format, suitable for broad audiences.
