In this new volume from the New American Commentary Studies in
Bible & Theology series, Mark Rooker discusses one by one the
language of each of the Ten Commandments and its complete meaning
in the ancient context. Adding a depth of understanding that can't
be obtained by looking only at the commandment itself, he shows how
each commandment echoes elsewhere in the Old Testament, how it was
violated in Israel's history, and how it surfaces again in the New
Testament. In conclusion, Rooker includes an extended section on
the theological significance of each commandment and its
contemporary implications.
"The World and the Word" is a fresh introduction to the Old
Testament driven largely by the fact that so much Christian
preaching and teaching today increasingly ignores what is eighty
percent of the Bible. Authors Eugene Merrill, Mark Rooker, and
Michael Grisanti work through the world and text of the Old
Testament always making three major points:
- The Old Testament is a rich source of theology and doctrine that
is presupposed by the New Testament. Without it, Christian theology
would be seriously deficient.
- Mastery of the Old Testament is crucial to an understanding of
the New Testament.
- The Old Testament offers, by teaching and example, practical
principles of belief and behavior for contemporary times. Who God
was and what He did then can be replicated in the lives of men and
women today.
Separating the verifiable biblical and extra-biblical data from the
various interpretations of that same information, the book further
shows how the Old Testament forms the platform and matrix from
which sprang the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus and the
church. "The World and the Word" will help students see an entry
point into the very heart and design of God who loves them and
wishes to make them the special object of His grace.
