Troubled that the Old Testament is “little known, little read,
and little appreciated,” Stephen J. Lennox wants his students
to see it as “one of the finest pieces of literature ever
produced,” full of artistry, wisdom, and relevance. In God
With Us: An Introduction to the Old Testament,” Dr. Lennox
accomplishes that goal and more. With eloquence and
passion, he leads the reader to discover the plan and
character of God.
This bird’s-eye view of the Bible examines the culture,
history, and imagery of ancient times, as well as the
structure and function of the Old Testament books. Each
chapter includes capsule summaries of the contents, maps
and timelines, thought-provoking questions, and
intriguing discussions of perplexing passages.
God With Us demonstrates how God introduced a
radically new and different ethical standard, one that
placed great value on humanity—taking His people
from where they were to where He wanted them to be.
“Thousands of years after it was written, its stories continue to confront and comfort at our deepest levels. The teachings of the Old Testament represent some of the most profound human insights in all of literature.”
Stephen J. Lennox, Ph.D.
