The Epic of Eden

A Christian Entry into the Old Testament

De: Sandra L. Richter

Narrado por: Pam Ward

Does your knowledge of the Old Testament feel like a grab bag of people, books, events, and ideas? How many times have you resolved to really understand the OT? To finally make sense of it?

Perhaps you are suffering from what Sandra Richter calls the "dysfunctional closet syndrome". If so, she has a solution. Like a home-organizing expert, she comes in and helps you straighten up your cluttered closet. Gives you hangers for facts. A timeline to put them on. And handy containers for the clutter on the floor. Plus she fills out your wardrobe of knowledge with exciting new facts and new perspectives.

The whole thing is put in usable order - a history of God's redeeming grace. A story that runs from the Eden of the Garden to the garden of the New Jerusalem. Whether you are a frustrated do-it-yourselfer or a beginning student enrolled in a course, this book will organize your understanding of the Old Testament and renew your enthusiasm for studying the Bible as a whole.

Great overview of the structure Bible

Great overview of the structure and purpose of the Hebrew Bible and how it connects to the New Testament

So Detailed

This was exactly what I needed. I thought I knew a good portion of the Bible as I have read it cover to cover in many different ways. But the parallels and insights she provides are nothing short of earth shattering and eye opening. Great insight.

Really wonderful overview of the Old Testament

Richter provide a very general overview of the Old Testament’s overarching themes. Especially valuable is the “frequently asked questions” last chapter. This book or something like it should be required reading for believers.

Loved it.

Retired shop girl, new believer, and recovering atheist. How am I to review such a scholarly work? Do I even dare? I do dare, and think it was wonderful. Can't wait to listen to it again, thank you, so very much.

A MUST READ FOR ALL CHRISTIANS!

This is the best book on understanding the Bible as a whole that lve ever read!!! Absolutely anointed writing and author.
