They Spoke from God

They Spoke from God

Many people consider the Old Testament to be complicated, mysterious, and far removed from current thought and life. A textbook on the Old Testament should not deepen these attitudes, but work to replace them. <i>They Spoke from God</i> addresses the writings of the Old Testament in simple language and in a personal style that speaks directly to the reader. It not only provides the student with a basic grasp of relevant passages, it also relates the biblical text to historical, theological, and ethical questions. Most importantly, <i>They Spoke from God</i> demonstrates how the various portions of the Old Testament fit together with one another, held together by the story of a God at work to redeem his people.
