He Loves Forever: The Message Of The Old Testament

Take a panoramic look at the Old Testament message from creation to the prophets and delve into many troubling questions: * How could an all-wise God create a flawed world? * Why did God impose hundreds of rigid laws on the Israelites? * How could a loving God be responsible for such violence and destruction? * Like Israel, do we face experiences in the wilderness and captivity? Thomas Olbricht provides some satisfying insights to these and other questions. Through it all you will discover "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end" (Lam 3:22). THOMAS H. OLBRICHT is a professor of Bible at Abilene Christian University and serves as an elder for the Minter Lane Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas. He is the author of another Journey Book, The Power to Be, and an upcoming book about the message of the New Testament.
