YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFriends, I’m delighted to announce the release of my new book, “The Great Story of Israel: Election, Freedom, Holiness,” the first in a two-volume series offering a theological reading of the Old Testament.
When I was doing my university and seminary studies some forty years ago, the privileged, practically dominant approach to the Bible was the historical-critical method.
The purpose of this technique was to uncover as fully as possible the intention of the human authors of the biblical books.
While there are numerous virtues to this method, there are also a variety of limitations, chief among them being that by stressing so completely the human authorship of the biblical books, the method effectively bracketed the reason the Bible is still read in the Church—namely, that God in some very real way is the principal author of the Scriptures.
This is why I've written "The Great Story of Israel."
I pray that this, the first of two volumes, will shed light on the divine authorship of God in the Old Testament Scriptures and help you to hear his voice more clearly.
