The book helps the modern reader see the relevance of the Old Testament. In a conversation about the book of Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and prophetic books, the author shows that they reveal to us the essence of human nature, tell us about the value of the human person. The Old Testament is the biography of God, the story of His passionate romance with people. The Old Testament is an introduction to the story of the life of Jesus Christ, because it was Christ who answered the questions that troubled the prophets of antiquity. And the author reminds us: the Old Testament is not an old, incomprehensible book. This is the same Bible that Jesus Christ read, which He knew and loved. “The better we understand the Old Testament, the better we can understand Jesus Christ,” writes Philip Yancey. Philip Yancey writes for Christianity Today. He is the author of eleven books, including “The Jesus Whom I Did Not Know,” “What Wonderful is Grace?”, “You Have Wonderfully Built My Insides,” “In His Image,” and “Much Ado About the Church.” He is distinguished by an honest and thoughtful view of the world, the church, and the life of a Christian. He is not afraid to call a spade a spade and raise questions that are usually avoided.
