This is for the Christian who wants to know what the Old Testament has to do with the New Testament
Dr Alec Motyer (1924-2016) was a well-known Bible expositor and from an early age had a love for studying God's Word. He was principal of Trinity College, Bristol and wrote many widely appreciated commentaries and other books.
"This is a masterful panorama of the old testament. Helpful
thumbnails of each book, illuminating engagement with the text,
perceptive connections with our own day and faith combine to make
this a superb overview of the old testament. The arrangement of
material along the timeline of history is immensely useful and at a
stroke clarifies how the old testament flows toward the new; but
the real genius of the book is that it begins with that
destination: with Christ, whose Scripture it was. Seasoned
preachers and inquiring beginners alike will gain from every page.
Read it : it's brilliant!"
*Dominic Smart*
"This is vintage Motyer; it is affectionate--the writer's sheer
delight in 'the law of the Lord' tends to ooze out from behind the
print; it is fresh--he's familiar with the scholarly waterfront but
Jacob-like has wrestled and stewed over these texts himself (and
his struggle is our gain); it is devious, for Alec clearly wants to
hook you on the Old Testament! Huge kudos to 'Focus' for this
format."
*Dale Ralph Davis*
'There can be no doubt that this book benefits greatly from Alec
Motyer's lifetime of Old Testament study. His mastery of the Hebrew
text, his knowledge of the Old Testament background, and his
conviction that Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the law and
prophets together give him a rare ability to paint the big picture
and to tell the 'story within the story' of the Old Testament.'
*John Stott*
