An excellent resource for new and mature Christians in understanding the Old Testament books
I found this e-book to be quite informative and bringing clarity to the old testament books. It is written in a way that locks events into a more understood dimension, while not losing the reader to excessive detail. To help with understanding each book there are charts, pictures, and outlines that can be used along side ones Bible. Author, Bible teacher, and evangelist Paul D. Weaver has used his scholarly ability in producing this excellent resource.
I enjoyed writing in my Bible word meanings, dates, and other things that this book brought to my attention. Though I have been a Christian for over 30 years there was still much I did not know in the Old Testament. It is written scholarly in that, while key information was presented, it was done in a fashion that even new Christians could grasp.
This is not a work to rush through but to allow oneself to immerse in the quality of information presented, possibly with one's Bible alongside. Each book has predictable categories covered including:
– Title
– Author
– Documentary hypothesis
– Recipients
– Date and place
– Purpose
– Message
– Theology
This will be a resource one can refer to over and over. It includes archaeological discoveries throughout with an easy to find table with links in the front of the book. For the quality of content and easy readability I give this work a five star rating.
