Through this book preachers and teachers will feel compelled to develop vibrant, relevant messages from the Old Testament. The keynote is sound interpretation with practical and exciting applications. Pitfalls such as over-spiritualizing the text are avoided.
The author forcefully demonstrates how to preach with a contemporary impact from the Law of God, from the Old Testament's distinctive view of human history, from the pointed proclamations of the Hebrew prophets, and from the timeless insights of the Wisdom Literature. And the central theme of the Old Testament, that of promise, gives unity to it all.
