    Based  on a Bible Study course taught by Dr. Mahusay, this book gives the student an overview of the entire Old Testament.  Written conversationally, it views the Scriptures of the Old Testament from the perspective of tracing God's promise of redemption from His first utterance of it in Eden, until the fulfillment of it in the Incarnation of the Messiah, Christ Jesus.  The unity of the message of the Bible is clearly presented.  After completing this study, the reader should have a grasp of the unified message of the Old Testament, and be able to place familiar events and quotations from the Old Testament in their proper context.  The material is adapted to a twenty-four session intensive Bible Study with groups or individuals.

 

     "With insight and skill, the author has created an actual compendium of the Old Testament which unifies and brings new clarity to this foundational part of Holy Scripture.  This is accomplished by an extensive use of the Word and her deep grasp of its true meaning." 

 A. Dale Ihrie, Th. D., Ph. D.

Jeremiah 20:9

 

  וְאָמַרְתִּי לֹא-אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ, וְלֹא-אֲדַבֵּר עוֹד בִּשְׁמוֹ, וְהָיָה בְלִבִּי כְּאֵשׁ בֹּעֶרֶת, עָצֻר בְּעַצְמֹתָי; וְנִלְאֵיתִי כַּלְכֵל, וְלֹא אוּכָל

 

kai e ¢ipa ou mh onom¢asw ¢onoma kur¢ iou kai ou mh lal¢hsw ¢ eti ep¢ itw ¢ omati auto¢u kai eg ¢ eneto wV pur kai ¢omenon fl¢ en toiV ost¢ eoiV mou; kai pare¢ imai p¢ antoqen, kai ou  ¢unamai f¢ erein.   (Septuagint)

 

But if I say, “I will not mention him

Or speak any more in his name,”

His word is in my heart like a fire,

A fire shut up in my bones.

I am weary  of holding it in:

Indeed,  I cannot.
