One of the major reasons that today's Messianic movement has grown
in the past decade is a significant interest by Believers in the
Torah and the Tanach. In too many cases, the Tanach Scriptures were
not probed in that great a detail in a Jewish Believer's
traditional Synagogue upbringing-and perhaps more serious, a
non-Jewish Believer's Christian experience often witnessed the Old
Testament taking a back seat to the New Testament in the Church.
With many of the ethical and moral controversies the greater
Judeo-Christian religious community is experiencing in our age, a
need for God's people to return to a foundational grounding in the
Tanach Scriptures is absolutely imperative. The Old Testament
cannot simply be disregarded any more. Many have stayed away from
consulting the Tanach not because of a lack of interest, but
because few want to have to deal with the controversies it
addresses. Unlike the Apostolic Scriptures, constrained to the
First Century C.E., the period of the Tanach stretches back all the
way to the beginning of the universe itself. Questions like: Who
was the Pharaoh of the Exodus? Did God actually condone the
genocide of the Canaanites? and Am I the only one who thinks the
Prophets are mentally disturbed? are debates that many people do
not want to enter into. Even more significant is the effect of
critical scholarship which has attempted to divide the Torah into
non-Mosaic sources, question the inspiration and historical
reliability of the text, and even regard much of the Tanach as
Ancient Israel's mythology. For a Messianic movement that claims to
place a high value on the Tanach, it is time that we join in to
these conversations. A Survey of the Tanach for the Practical
Messianic takes you through the Old Testament from a distinct
Messianic point of view. It presents a theologically conservative
perspective of the books of the Tanach, but one that does not avoid
some of the controversies that have existed in Biblical scholarship
for over one hundred and fifty years. The student, in company with
his or her study Bible, is asked to read through each text of the
Tanach, jotting down characters, place names, key ideas, and
reflective questions. Each book of the Old Testament is then
summarized for its compositional data and asks you questions to get
a good Messianic feel for the text. This workbook can be used for
both personal and group study, and will be a valuable aid for any
Messianic Believer wanting to study the whole Bible on a consistent
basis.
