Description: The Old Testament is an ancient collection of theological reflections on life with God that the church has claimed as authoritative Scripture.

By taking this approach, Stevens is articulates key issues that impact the reading of the entire Old Testament. This engaging volume is intended for laypeople who want to know more about the Old Testament, whether in personal study, church groups, college classrooms, or seminary courses.
