Available: September 1, 2021
Even if they don’t say it openly, many Christians dread the Old Testament. They find it difficult to understand and do not know where to start. This first part of the Bible often seems old-fashioned to them, and it is not easy to detect its relevance to everyday life in a modern world. Reading it sometimes also leaves a feeling of embarrassment. How to understand the barbaric events that appear regularly over the pages?
The feeling of discomfort grows stronger because the Christian knows that the whole Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that it serves as a guide to know the graceful purpose of God. He should therefore know and benefit from it, but…
With great expertise and contagious passion, the author shows how we are to read and study the Old Testament by faith, how the key to unleashing all of its power lies in Christ, this Christ so present in all. 'Old Testament. Although the author is a distinguished scholar, he writes with clarity and simplicity, in a style that is affordable to the ordinary Christian.
Michael Barrett shows his reader how to identify the basic characteristics of Christ in order to discover this Messiah who is manifested throughout the Old Testament.
He challenges that, throughout his Word, God promises that those who passionately seek will find the heart of Scripture. That’s why, starting with Moses and through to Malachi, we want to be ready to discover Christ.
