Publisher's Synopsis
Reading the Old Testament brings Christians close to God because it is the word of God and a basis for the New Testament and Western civilisation. The Old Testament refers to a Christian term meaning the Jewish Bible. This is because it was given to the Jews and preserved by them before the coming of Christ into the world.
The old testament is the most important word of God that this world affords and is a collection of thirty-nine books about the history and religion of the people of Israel. The authors of these books are unknown-the beginning of the world, of humankind, and of God's promise to the Israelites. Genesis, the first book, opens with God's world creation, Adam and Eve, and how Satan was thrown out of heaven. It contains four main sections; The Pentateuch comprises the first five books of the Old Testament, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, then followed by The Former Prophets, Writings of the Historical Books, which cover the history of the Israelites, include, from Moses's death to the fall of the nation in 587 BC (from Joshua. The old testament content is respected by both Muslims and Christians.
The Bible has been translated by hundreds of people, which has resulted in contradiction. Nevertheless, it remains the world by Almighty God/Allah used by all believers.
Writing is a sacred language in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic
God promises to give the Israelite people a great land and nation, but the Israelites' persistent disobedience and worship of false gods hinder the fulfilment of God's promise or covenant.
