| Summary |
The Old Testament is no ordinary text; it is a revelation of God's will, character, purpose, and plan, inspired by the Spirit of God. That same Spirit continues to work within God's people today as they read the Bible, even when the meaning is difficult to discern. In The Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, eighteen evangelical scholars analyze the Old Testament through a historical, literary, and theological hermeneutic, providing new insights into the meaning of the Scriptures. This festschrift in honor of Duane A. Garrett seeks to help Christians faithfully read and understand the Old Testament Scriptures |
