Synopsis

Since the Old Testament (OT) is the foundation of the New Testament, understanding the OT is crucial. In this second installment of the Made Simple Series, Doc Smith has given us a quick and easy guide to the Old Testament.

The structure of the chapters in this book is derived from the account of the call of Samuel. The Lord called to Samuel three times in the night, and Eli instructed Samuel to respond with these words: Speak, LORD, for your servant hears (1 Sam 3:9).

The letters of the word SPEAKS are used to outline the discussion of each Old Testament Book.
