Old Testament Study Guide

Understand the Old Testament as never before! The Old Testament is a most valuable book of scripture. It is the source of several favorite Bible stories many of us heard when we were growing up, such as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Noah and the Flood, David and Goliath, Ruth, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and many more. However, far beyond, it is a rich source of gospel doctrines and teachings of the plan of salvation. It teaches the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement of Christ in many ways and with rich examples, including in the law of Moses.

What if every book of the Old Testament came with a trusted guide who could explain its world, purpose, message, and significance before you began reading? The Old Testament is one of the most influential collections of writings in human history. It is also one of the most difficult. Its books emerged from cultures separated from us by thousands of years. They were written in different genres, across different centuries, for audiences living in worlds shaped by empires, covenants, temples, kings, prophets, exile, and restoration. Many readers know the stories. Fewer understand the world ...

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus.

Holland walks you through all the 66 books showing you how they are all connected and lead to one person, Jesus Christ.

Israel never stood higher than it does at the opening of 1 Kings—and never fell faster. The book begins with the death of David and the crowning of Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest king the nation would ever know. It rises to its great climax in the building of the Temple in Jerusalem, the house where heaven and earth were believed to meet. And then, with sobering speed, it traces the unraveling: a king whose divided heart compromises everything he built, a kingdom torn in two, and generations of rival rulers who lead the people steadily away from the covenant that made them who they ...

The Psalms are the most quoted, most loved, and most misunderstood books in the Bible. People reach for a verse when they need comfort.

This book changes that. H.K. Holland opens the first twenty psalms with rare clarity; bringing their historical backgrounds, their theological depth, and their very human emotions fully to life. You will discover things in these pages that most people who have read the ...

These sixteen psalms include the song the exiles sang by the rivers of Babylon when their captors asked them to perform and the words would not come, the most intimate prayer in the Bible (God knows when you sit down and when you stand up, where you are going before you get there, and what you are going to say before you say it), and the warrior’s psalm that ends not on a battlefield but at a dinner table with a...
