The Bible Jesus Read
In The Bible Jesus Read, Philip Yancey challenges the perception that the New Testament is all that matters and the Old Testament isn't worth taking the time to read and understand. After all, why bother with writings that can be so baffling, boring, even offensive to the modern mind? But a surprising discovery awaited Yancey when he began to explore how the Old Testament related to his life today. 'The more we comprehend the Old Testament,' Yancey writes, 'the more we comprehend Jesus.'
