If you've always wondered what the Old Testament is really about... If you feel like the Old Testament is a confusing mix of hard-to-understand laws and boring history... If you've ever been confused about how the Old Testament relates to Jesus... Then you need Full of Promise.
In this interactive Bible Study, Phil Campbell and Bryson Smith take us on a whirlwind tour of the Old Testament. In eight concise studies, we see the big breathtaking picture of creation, fall and the history of God's dealings with Israel; the whole story, with all its ups and downs, and with the certainty of God's promise shining through.
These studies help us to understand the message of the whole Bible. They show us not only the big picture of the Old Testament, but how the pieces fit together, and how they inexorably point towards the One who was to come: Jesus, in whom all God's promises are Yes and Amen.
Initially I wondered if this would prove to be a simplistic summary of the O.T, skipping through all the old familiar stories. I needn't have worried. Our home group, all Christians who know their Bibles, loved it. There is not only a freshness in this series of studies but, even better, lots of connections into the N.T. to explore the ultimate meaning and fulfillment of the O.T. narrative. The authors have managed to do something really useful: to open up the big picture and apply it in a personal way. Recommended.
This is the first book to be used at our house group. It is well laid out with excellent pointers to elicit discussion. A great resource for those wanting to explore the OT in more detail.
Our Home Group chose this book, as we felt we needed an overview of the history of the Jews. We've had 2 enjoyable sessions so far and think it is living up to its name!
