Enjoying Jesus’s Bible: The Old Testament for Christians

“This book will change the way you read the Old and the New Testaments. The ideas are big, but the words and the chapters are not. I will joyfully wear out my copy.”
— Tom Kelby, President, Hands to the Plow Ministries; President, Table Fellowship Churches

As a Christian, are you unsure about the best way to read and understand what is literally the first three-quarters of the Bible?

It’s a hugely important question, because unhealthy approaches to reading and understanding the Old Testament can lead to significant doctrinal and ethical problems. But answers appear when Christians read the Old Testament properly—through Christ and for Christ. This is why Enjoying Jesus’s Bible teaches us how to:

• read the Old Testament in the ways God intends (chapter 1),
• see Jesus where Scripture discloses him (chapter 2),
• hope in all God’s promises for us (chapter 3), and
• live faithfully in relation to God’s law (chapter 4).

After all, God gave the Old Testament “for our instruction” and to serve us (Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:11; 2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:12). When Christians read it through Christ and for Christ, it clarifies many doctrinal and ethical issues that cannot be addressed in any other way.

This book is short, clear, and packed with insights. It’s perfect for anyone with an interest in Scripture:

• from students and everyday Christians eager to learn more
• to pastors, teachers, and scholars who will delight in the succinct, insightful presentation

Learn how to enjoy, delight in, and grow in Godward hope through the Old Testament — the Bible of Jesus, the Apostles, and the earliest Church — the 39 books of Scripture that set the stage for the worldwide spread of Christianity.
