Product Overview
Presbyterians learn about God's Word through both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, but much of the emphasis of preaching and worship in our churches is centered on the New Testament. We know that the Old Testament should be important to us, but what can learning about Israel's history teach us?
This Leader Reader, "The Importance of the Old Testament for Christians" by Union Presbyterian Seminary professor Rebecca Weaver, explains how the Old Testament is not just Scripture for the Jews but also part of God's revealing Word for Christians. This Leader Reader also presents the historical background to this question and how the Old Testament was interpreted among early Christians.
