description: Written from an irenic evangelical perspective this Old Testament survey is designed to unpack what the biblical authors most intended to communicate in the Scripture that Jesus read. As a complementary volume to the previously published What the New Testament Authors Really Cared About (Kregel Academic 2008) it is well-suited for use in a college seminary or church context. Students of the Bible will find this full-color textbook accessible and engaging.What the Old Testament Authors Really Cared About is gospel-centered portraying the Old Testament as the foundation for a fulfillment found in the New Testament. Each chapter is written by an Old Testament scholar who is a skilled teacher at one of the finest evangelical schools across North America and specializes in the biblical book covered. Readers will find: - Introductory issues (who when where why) condensed to one-page snapshots of essential information at the beginning of each chapter- The clarity of the biblical message enhanced through nearly two hundred high-resolution photographs over eighty charts and tables and twelve color maps- Very readable text appropriate for broad audiences- A format simpler and intentionally shorter than many other surveys making it a very manageable textbook for a single semester Old Testament survey course or a useful guide to accompany devotional reading of Scripture
