The Old Testament for a Complex World How the Bible`s Dynamic Testimony Points to New Life for the Church

"This impressive analysis will resonate with any Christian interested in the evolution of biblical criticism."--Publishers Weekly

What if the Bible, which has come to us through a complex process, is just the resource we need to speak to the challenges of living as Christians in a complex world? In today's era of significant cultural upheaval, studying the Old Testament can seem impractical or irrelevant. This book reclaims the Old Testament as a vital resource for today's church, showing how critical study of these texts helps us understand the Bible as a dynamic testimony for our changing future.
