Does the Old Testament Matter for the Believer Today?
If all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for instruction as the book of Second Timothy teaches, then "Yes!"
But why does God include chapter after chapter of poetry and songs (some of which describe graphic violence), philosophical musings, and prophetic utterances about long-dead peoples and nations in His divinely inspired word?
Filled with ancient mysteries and tragedies, the Old Testament both intimidates and intrigues modern readers. Yet the Old Testament contains the foundational tenants of the Christian faith, composing the bulk of the Bible's Narrative of Redemption. In this second volume of his Old Testament Survey (Job to Malachi), Nathan LeMaster helps the reader navigate these crucial passages, demonstrating the relevancy, intricacy, and intentionality of the Old Testament, reigniting a passion for its study.
