Survey of the Old Testament

"No one will properly understand the New Testament Scriptures if the Old Testament Scriptures constitute a mystery," states Paul Benware.

Most Christians do not have a clear understanding of the pattern, unity, or progression of the Old Testament. They can recount stories of Moses, Noah, and David, but they are not sure how these events relate to each other. And they do not fully appreciate the doctrines found in the thirty-nine books from Genesis to Malachi.

But the Old Testament does not have to be mysterious or cause confusion. Dr. Benware offers a chronological approach to give the reader an overview of the Old Testament's historical value, while his book-by-book analysis reveals important details.

If you want a better understanding of the entire Bible, "Survey of the Old Testament" is the place to start. It contains informative and very helpful comments on the Bible, without being technical, written by qualified specialists and educators. Because they are easy to read and understand, these books are excellent guides for personal or group study.
