What do you think of when you hear the phrase 'Old Testament'? If you are anything like me, the word 'boring' would likely come to mind. The Old Testament is full of history, which was and still is my least favorite subject. But it's important to know who everyone in the Bible is and the context for which scripture is written. The Old Testament also seems to show the wrath of God against sin, and it's full of laws and rules. However, the Old Testament also lays the foundation for the coming of the Messiah who would later sacrifice Himself for all of our sins. So that part excites me!
So, when I got the chance to dig into the Old Testament Handbook, I was honestly on the fence about if it would beneficial to use this tool in my personal study. But, after looking into it and seeing what all it had to offer, my mind was very quickly changed, and I was a bit blown away by its usefulness and content. The timelines and charts that are included in the handbook were extremely helpful and I felt like I was learning all new content with a different perspective. I love how colorful the pages are and how elegant the design is. There are also pages with 'key scriptures' and 'key quotes', etc. that are important in each section and chapter. This handbook really goes in depth about each book and has the background information as well as introductions to each book. They also have 'word study' in each book that goes in depth about certain words you find in that particular book.
I would highly recommend this handbook for your personal study time or even a group study for the Old Testament. And I hope that there will eventually be a handbook for the New Testament as well!
