The Old Testament is more than a religious history of the nation of
Israel. It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith.
It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the
New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is inspired
revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God. As
renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke writes in the preface
of this book, the Old Testament's every sentence is "fraught with
theology, worthy of reflection."This book is the result of decades
of reflection informed by an extensive knowledge of the Hebrew
language, the best of critical scholarship, a deep understanding of
both the content and spirit of the Old Testament, and a thoroughly
evangelical conviction. Taking a narrative,chronological approach
to the text, Waltke employs rhetorical criticism to illuminate the
theologies of the biblical narrators. Through careful study, he
shows that the unifying theme of the Old Testament is the "breaking
in of the kingdom of God." This theme helps the reader better
understand not only the Old Testament, but also the New Testament,
the continuity of the entire Bible, and ultimately, God himself.
