Reading the Old Testament is like time-travelling. The first pages of the Bible begin with how God created everything. The history of our origin is meant to help us to know how the world came into existence, but it has an even higher purpose, namely to know our Maker and worship the God of the universe.The Old Testament reveals the character of God, who is a holy and loving God. We learn in this study that the Old Testament is as relevant and exciting as the New Testament. This book helps us to understand God’s plan for his people Israel and for the nations. It also explains how the New Covenant, the coming of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit are all promised and foretold in the Old Testament.This textbook aims to guide you through the different books and teachings of the Old Testament. It will help you gain a better understanding of all that the Bible teaches and to enjoy the love and mercy of God in the promised Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ.Theological training has become more important than ever. Many pastors, ministers and evangelists lack access to true biblical education and therefore cannot gain sufficient knowledge and skills to lead their congregations or to teach and plant new churches.At NET Foundation it is our desire and mission to provide sound biblical training for Christian leaders, including for pastors, ministers and evangelists.www.netfoundation.nl
