This Is The Old Testament

by She Reads Truth

Everything we find in the Bible—every book, every author, every literary genre—points us to God. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments tell one unified story about God’s love and purpose for humanity as well as His plan to rescue us.


Over seven weeks, we’ll read thematic selections from every book of the Old Testament to see how they contribute to the greater narrative of Scripture, from the creation of the world to the establishment, captivity, and restoration of the nation of Israel. At the end of this study, you’ll have a framework for reading the Old Testament and a better understanding of its role in redemption history. This Is the New Testament, the second Study Book in this series, will continue tracing the redemption story through the New Testament.

She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances.

I loved this survey over the Old Testament. I’ve always struggled with the OT and loved the NT because I felt like I couldn’t see God’s love and compassion in the Old Testament. But this study helped me see God’s just AND loving nature and that He always keeps His Word.

This was a perfect thematic survey of the OT for a summer study. It had enough depth (but not an overwhelming amount of info). I'll continue with the next book in the series: This is the New Testament.

I really liked reviewing the key themes of each book and key verse. I realized that I have never studied the minor prophets before. But I do prefer studying one book in detail.

Perfect study if you want a survey of the Old Testament. The study clearly shows God’s plan of redemption is the thread throughout Scripture.. so beautiful !

I enjoyed all the cross referencing and how it made the old testament condensed. I would have enjoyed more thought provoking questions

A wonderful daily study that takes you through the Old Testament in a way that’s relatable, enjoyable, and not overwhelming.
