Product Description

by. Jensen, Irving L.

Jensen's Survey of the Old TestamentSynopsis: What do you think of when you think of the Old Testament? Do you recall individual stories like David and Goliath, or Daniel in the lion's den? Or are you able to see the Old Testament as a panoramic view of God's redemptive work? Here is a book that will help you see the Old Testament as a unified whole.  Replete with helpful charts and maps, this useful survey of the Old Testament by Irving L. Jensen is sure to open up your understanding of the Old Testament.

The method of Jensen's Survey of the Old Testament is to motivate the student to discover new truths on his own.  There is none of the all too common spoon-feeding found in many Bible helps.  Consequently, the usefulness of this guide is virtually inexhaustible.

    Do you want to understand the Bible?

    Posted by J. Loucks on Jun. 3, 2013

    Then buy this book! I've had this book (and Jensen's Survey of the New Testament) for over 15 years. I have used them both to help guide me in my study of dozens of Bible books, and they have been a huge help in my spiritual growth. I love them so much I am now going through the Gospel of John with my teenage boys, using Jensen's New Testament book as a guide. Both the boys and I are loving it. In fact, I ordered them each their own copy to help them start their own Christian libraries.

    In your study of a Bible book, Jensen will guide you first through an overview of the entire book so you can see the big picture, of the book itself, and of the book's place in the entire Bible. This has been very helpful in demystifying the Old Testament for me. Then he takes you through several main topics within the book, so you can focus on the details. He also has very insightful ideas for application and further study.

    I give it my highest recommendation.
