OLD TESTAMENT STORY
Seeing the Old Testament as a whole
By Audrey Nash. Author House. 154 pages. £9.49
ISBN 978-1-4389-2873-9

This book, by a highly experienced Bible teacher, is designed to provide a ‘road map’ through the Old Testament so as to help the Christian reader to read it, rather than just simply dip into the ‘purple’ passages and predictions of Jesus. Clearly and interestingly expressed, in a popular style, it carries its scholarship lightly (as it should, given its intended ‘popular’ readership).

Its strengths include its stress upon the fact that the Old Covenant was a covenant of grace, and the regular quotable quotes: for example, ‘With this move away from covenant loyalty there was also inevitably a move away from covenant morality’.
