How can you begin to understand something as vast and challenging as the 39 Books of the Old Testament?
The Old Testament is sacred not just to the Christian but also to the Jewish religion. Its 39 books cover thousands of years with an array of literary genres including poetry, history, creation myth, apocalyptic, and song.
It can be confusing and overwhelming – but luckily, John happens to work in the same building as a leading expert on it all who gives us a quick rundown in this special Single.
