Item Description...
The title, Old Testament, creates difficulties of its own. If it is Old and we are people of the New, surely we may properly let it fade away into history? Besides, it seems very unlike the New Testament, even contradictory: all those wars when Jesus is the Prince of peace; all those commandments to obey when we are not under law but under grace. And can the God of the Old Testament be a God of love like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit These are the questions that Alec Motyer, a life long lover of the Old Testament, seeks to answer starting with the conviction that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Scripture. The Story of the Old Testament is for the Christian who wants to know what the Old Testament has to do with the New Testament and why the Christian should read it. A comprehensive survey of the Old Testament organised around its authors and major characters, the theme of The Story of the Old Testament is that the Holy Spirit chose, fashioned and equipped the biblical authors to convey distinctive truths through each of them. |

 | Conservative explanation of the Old Testament Aug 19, 2006 |
| The conservative British writer once again provides the layman and the scholar a wonderful tool for understanding the Old Testament. The book provides valuable details on the authorship and other technical elements of the books as well as a powerful explanation of the theme and progression of each book. The only minor problem that comes through some of the discussions is the influence of his amillennial theology. Some passages are interpreted in a non-literal manner to accommodate his theology. On the other hand, Motyer gives sound application and defense against liberal approaches to Scripture as well as nice pictures, outlines, and maps to illustrate his points. If you enjoy this book, you may also want to purchase Motyer's extensive personal commentary on Isaiah (The Prophecy of Isaiah: An Introduction & Commentary) or his commentary on Isaiah in the Tyndale OT set (Isaiah: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries)). | | | Write your own review about Roots: Let The Old Testament Speak
