Many Bible readers find the Old Testament daunting. Its themes seem distant from their present-day lives, the language is hard to understand, and the events all predate Jesus's earthly ministry. But if they look at it correctly, they will find that the Old Testament still speaks today. Pastor and theologian Alec Motyer introduces six key themes—history, religion, worship, prophecy, wisdom, and theology—to help readers explore the Old Testament for themselves. After each theme's overview, six guided readings trace the themes throughout the Old Testament. An appendix that includes an additional four weeks of readings for every chapter helps readers digs even deeper into each theme. This fresh approach to reading the Old Testament uncovers the riches and relevance it has for today.
