Description
Ever wonder what the Bible was all about but were nervous about reading such an intimidating book? Key Themes of the Old Testament is a creative approach to the study of the Old Testament. It surveys twelve Old Testament themes written for the undergraduate audience from a themes perspective. The themes include history of the English Bible, biblical revelation, inspiration, transmission of the text, creation context, sovereignty of God, sin and the human condition, protoevangelium, covenant, biblical law, Israelite worship, and prophets.
Graves provides an informative and accessible read that explores the Bible, not as a survey of history, but by examining twelve interconnecting themes, provides an overview of what the Bible is all about and how it relates to the New Testament. Learn how the covenant is connected to the law and the law related to the Old Testament sacrificial system. What has Genesis 3:15 to do with the rest of the Bible? Graves answers the kinds of questions that the average reader of the Bible wants answered and not simply the answers that scholars think they should hear.
Numerous detailed maps, charts, tables, and more than 100 photographs illustrate the Old Testament context. Helpful breakout panes, dealing with Quotes from Antiquity, Moments in History, and Facts from Archaeology, provide an interesting and informative understanding of the cultural and historical background of the Bible. A glossary defines technical terms, and extensive footnotes and the hundreds of books listed in the For Further Study breakout panes and bibliography provide an invaluable resource to students for future study.
