  This accessible introduction to interpreting the Old Testament uses everyday language, concepts and analogies to bring the Old Testament to life. While giving fresh insights into understanding and applying the text, the author does not run away from disturbing questions, and is not afraid to challenge reader's assumptions. Writing from an evangelical perspective, the book takes into account what is valuable in recent Old Testament scholarship, especially the new literary emphasis. Successive chapters deal with specific genres, and include an analysis of each book and its message. Links with the New Testament are pointed out, and practical applications suggested.
