 The story of creation, the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, Job, the Twenty-third Psalm-these are among the twenty Old Testament passages considered in this valuable resource. Writing for the layperson interested in entering into a deeper relationship with the Bible, Douglas Stuart uses a method that is fresh, simple, and easy to understand, yet grounded in competent scholarship.
Stuart first paraphrases the text, using everyday language. He then provides an introduction for the passage and an explanation of its special vocabulary, biblical context, and historical background, as well as its form and structure. As Stuart suggests applications for daily life, what the passage means to each individual reader becomes apparent.
Simple but thorough, this book will be helpful for individual use or group study. It will lead readers to discover new meaning in biblical passages that are familiar but perhaps not fully appreciated or understood before.
DOUGLAS STUART, author of Old Testament Exegesis: A Primer for Students and Pastors, is Professor of Old Testament and Chair of the Division of Biblical Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton,
