Product Details
A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament is designed to uncover the meaning of the Old Testament’s narrative. The Old Testament makes up over half of the Bible and spans the vast majority of Scripture’s historical timeline, yet the ancient culture in which it was written, and the unspoken context of its 46 books mean that much of its wisdom can be difficult for readers to understand. A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament offers a comprehensive, yet accessible introduction to the Old Testament and seeks to unveil the mysteries of divine revelation contained in the Old Testament as well as unlock the hidden details of this God-given text. A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament enables Catholics to become better acquainted with each book’s human author, main characters, and important points to transform their understanding of the “big picture” of Scripture and its meaning for their lives.
The only introduction to the Old Testament based on The Bible Timeline Learning System, A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament is the perfect companion to The Great Adventure Catholic Bible and the various studies of The Great Adventure® Bible Study program.
