Survey of the Old Testament- Everyman's Bible Commentary: Everyman's Bible Commentary

"The New Testament Scriptures will never be properly understood by a person if the Old Testament Scriptures essentially remain a mystery to him," says Paul Benware.

Most Christians do not have a clear understanding of the pattern, unity, or progression of the Old Testament. They can tell stories of Moses, Noah, and David, but they aren't sure how all these events fit together. And they don't fully appreciate the doctrines found in the thirty-nine books between Genesis and Malachi. But the Old Testament does not have to be mysterious or confusing.
Newly revised, Dr. Benware offers a chronological approach to give you a bird's-eye viewof the Old Testament, while his book-by-book analysis reveals important details and emphases. If you want a better understanding of the whole Bible, "Survey of the Old Testament" is the place to start."
