How to read the Old Testament

What is that strange section in our Bible that we call the Old Testament all about anyway? And how does the exile of Gods people help us have a better perspective for reading the Old Testament? This episode looks at how to better read the Old Testament books, which are generally viewed as difficult to understand and are greatly neglected in the church. We also look at how the laws in the book of Deuteronomy, which lay out the covenant obligations of the people of Israel, are then woven throughout the books of Israel’s history.
