Studying the New Testament without an understanding of the Old is like listening only to the final movement of a great symphony. If we do not begin at the beginning, we cannot grasp the meaning of the themes that develop or their subtle variations. To fully appreciate the music of the Bible, we must listen to its opening movements.
William Dyrness helps us by providing a set of "program notes" relevant to the important themes of the Old Testament: the revelation that God makes of Himself therein, the nature of God, creation and providence, man and woman, sin, the covenant, the law, worship, piety, ethics, wisdom, the Spirit of God, prophecy, and the hope of Israel. By tuning our ears to these themes, Dyrness launches us on a journey of enriching study and deeper understanding.
