Can the Old Testament help us in our world today? Our culture is so different now, can we read the Old Testament and be as transformed as we are by the New Testament? My answer: absolutely. When you truly understand the culture and journey of the people in the Old Testament, their bravery, their valor, their strength in following the one true God, you’ll be constantly overwhelmed, as I am, and inspired to follow in their footsteps.

This little book packs some heavy punches when it comes to its theological richness. The imagery in this book is a marvelous portrayal of God paying a price to redeem those who are not part of the people of God, the Israelites.

When it comes to the Old Testament the modern believer probably has plenty of mixed feelings, and that’s alright. The Old Testament presents a unique challenge to us, particularly in interpretation. Firstly, the Old Testament has a vastly different cultural setting and background to what we currently experience, and that must be recognised.
