Overview THE STORY OF FOUR PEPLE WHO EXPERIENCED ONE OF THE GREATEST POLITIAL COUPS IN HISTORY. The Old Testament features the stories of thousands of characters; many of whom struggled to walk the path of God and others who denounced his ways and turned to evil. We can learn from all of them, but with Finally in the Land, part of the MacArthur Old Testament Study Guides, the stories of Rahab, Deborah, Gideon, and Ruth are the focus. By learning about the historical period in which they lived and how their individual personalities affected the world around them, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the overtaking of Canaan and the judges of Israel.

- A Study in Joshua, Judges, and Ruth
It took more than forty years to get here, but the nation of Israel has finally arrived at the borders of the promised land. But getting here was only the beginning-the people of Israel discover that they are still faced with many battles and many foes. Joshua encourages them to take courage, however, for the Lord has promised to fight all their battles and defeat all their foes-by His power, not by theirs. Finally in the Land takes an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with the miraculous parting of the Jordan River, continuing through the victories and setbacks as Israel settles into Canaan, and concluding with times of the judges. Studies include close-ups of Rahab, Ruth, Samson, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as "The Kinsman Redeemer" and "The Sin of Achan."A This twelve-volume MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide series provides intriguing twelve-week examinations of the Old Testament. Each guide looks at a portion of Scripture from three perspectives-historical studies, character studies, and thematic studies-and incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Old Testament with guidance from John MacArthur. |
