what old testament Authors really card about

"How could I not enjoy a book that the editor says 'is designed as a springboard for delight in God-the supreme Savior, Sovereign, and Satisfier of the world? Jason DeRouchie has a sure hand when it comes to guiding a team of scholars. The aroma of his God-centered, Christ-exalting commitments permeate this survey. This is not a book with lengthy and elaborate arguments, but a faithful and attractive rendering of conservative evangelical research into the Bible that Jesus said 'cannot be broken' (John 10:35). I would happily put this in the hand of every church member, praying, as the editor has, that it would 'fuel a greater treasuring of God... through Jesus—the divine, crucified, and resurrected Messiah.'"

-JOHN PIPER, Founder and Teacher, DesiringGod.org

"Finally! An introduction to the only Bible Jesus had—a survey that tries to make sense of each book by highlighting its life-giving message. This volume is invitingly organized and composed, and delightfully illustrated. If this does not inspire the curious and the fearful to read the Old Testament, I don't know what will. We are grateful to Jason DeRouchie and the rest of the contributors for this magnificent resource."

-DANIEL I. BLOCK, Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of

Old Testament, Wheaton College

"No ordinary survey! This clear, concise, and easy-to-understand text will help church folks and serious students alike grasp the contribution of the Old Testament to the Bible as a single text with a unified plot structure that finds ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Beautiful pictures and helpful diagrams aid communication in a powerful way. I heartily recommend it!"

-PETERJ. GENTRY, Professor of Old Testament Interpretation,

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"This is one of the most user-friendly surveys of the Old Testament-Jesus' Bible-that I have seen. Written by accomplished scholars under the able direction of Jason DeRouchie, the book is a compelling read from start to finish. DeRouchie's vision for making this an accessible introduction to what for most Christians is an inaccessible part of our Scriptures is admirably accomplished. I highly recommend this book."

-DAVID M. HOWARD JR., Professor of Old Testament, Bethel Seminary

Arranged in the order of Jesus' Jewish Bible and with helpful, one-page snapshots of essential information, this Old Testament survey has 13 maps, 80 charts, over 160 sidebars, and nearly 200 color photographs.
