In The Bible Jesus Read, award-winning author Philip Yancey combines scholarship and insight to bring new light to old material and stimulate new thought and further study. He explores the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings of the Old Testament to help readers know God better. Yancey serves as guide and interpretive leader of each session and, in a series of in-depth interviews and explanations, he covers five crucial segments of the Old Testament: Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and The Prophets.
Yancey approaches each of these major segments from a different point of view and adds additional interpretive material, extending the reach of his best-selling book. He teams with the Emmy Award-winning production team responsible for video production of the What’s So Amazing About Grace?
The eight sessions include:
- Is the Old Testament Worth the Effort? (10:30)
- Understanding the Old Testament (12:30)
- Job: Seeing in the Dark (13:00)
- Deuteronomy: A Taste of Bittersweet (15:00)
