MICHAEL P.V. BARRETT

Although the Old Testament can appear irrelevant, outdated, and difficult to read, there are precious nuggets of truth in it which are vital for Christians to understand. That is why Michael Barrett provides this practical approach to reading the books of law, history, prophecy, and poetry through the lens of Jesus. As Barrett explains, ‘Seeing Christ and the gospel in the Old Testament gives life to what otherwise seems to be dry and outdated.’ Grow in personal holiness today as you learn to read and apply the Old Testament properly.
