description: Sixty superlative sermons on familiar Old Testament texts.Many Christian preachers today largely neglect the Old Testament in their sermons focusing instead on the Gospel accounts of Jesus teachings and activities. As Fleming Rutledge points out however when the New Testament is disconnected from the context of the Old Testament it is like a house with no foundation a plant with no roots or a pump with no well.In this powerful collection of sixty sermons on the Old Testament Rutledge expounds on a number of familiar Old Testament passages featuring Abraham Samuel David Elijah Job Jonah and many other larger-than-life figures. Applying these texts to contemporary life and Christian theology she highlights the ways in which their multivocal messages can be heard in all their diversity while still proclaiming univocally Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One.
