by Walter C. Kaiser Jr. (Author), Ralph D. Winter (Foreword by)
Is the Old Testament relevant for today? Yes! Discover the unifying theme of the ""Old"" and ""New"" Testaments -- and of history! -- in God's promise-plan first given to Abraham in Genesis 12. Cross-cultural workers and students of the Bible will discover valuable insights and new zeal for searching and communicating the Scriptures in this very readable book based on years of massive scholarship. ""No single question about the Bible is more crucial, more basic, more troublesome, more significant, more complex, more profound, more weighty or more urgent than the question of the true nature of the connection between the religion/faith of the Old Testament and that of the New Testament. . . . It cuts to the heart of the often misunderstood dynamics of the global mission movement. It sheds light on practically every page of the Bible. Here Kaiser is at his best, warmly down to earth, personable, exuberantly encouraging, making profound insights plain. . . . We are not talking now about common knowledge, widely accepted perspective; in these talks you will find unusual and crucial insights that are not common although they ought to be and must be.""
