About this audiobook
Feed your curiosity of the Bible by exploring the deeper meaning behind familiar Old Testament passages.
Below the surface of every seemingly ordinary Bible verse lies a deeper meaning just waiting to be discovered. And these hidden insights aren't just reserved for scholars, academics, or pastors. Anyone who knows where to look can uncover the surprisingly significant messages that the biblical authors intended for us to hear.
In 30 Old Testament Passages with Deeper Meaning, Michael Williams seeks to lead believers to a deeper comprehension and appreciation of biblical truth. In each easy-to-read chapter, Williams focuses on one Old Testament verse or passage, and:
- Examines its cultural, historical, linguistic, and/or theological context.
- Explains how it is enhanced by the added context and perspective.
- Provides questions to facilitate further reflection, study, and discussion.
Helping to bridge the gap between the academy and the church, this broadly accessible and edifying book will help everyday Christians get more out of their Bible. Plus, the insightful questions at the end of each chapter make this an ideal small group, Bible study, or expository preaching resource.
Tables, reflection prompts, and a select bibliography are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
