Publisher's Synopsis
The Message of the Old Testament is a comprehensive guide to the major themes and messages of the Old Testament, written by Maude Beeley Jacob. The book is divided into three sections: the Pentateuch, the historical books, and the prophetic books. In the first section, Jacob explores the themes of creation, the fall of humanity, and the establishment of the covenant between God and Israel. She also delves into the laws and rituals of the Israelites, and their journey to the Promised Land. The second section focuses on the history of Israel, from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile. Jacob examines the reigns of the various kings and the prophets who spoke on behalf of God. In the final section, Jacob discusses the prophetic books, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. She explores the themes of judgment, redemption, and the coming of the Messiah. Throughout the book, Jacob emphasizes the importance of understanding the Old Testament in its historical and cultural context, and how its messages continue to be relevant today. The Message of the Old Testament is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible's foundational text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
