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).

The central focus of the Old Testament is God's love. Written in an easy-to-read and well-documented style, Dr. Thomas Olbricht has provided us with an inspiring look at the steadfast, unmeasurable love God has for His children. As Dr. OlBricht write, "the story line of the Old Testament is easier to follow if one is familiar with the basic contours. This book is designed to identify certain foundational affirmations in the Old Testament and to trace the threads, which bind the whole together. We are concerned with the central message of the Old Testament -- that the God of the Old Testament is an icessant lover."
