Abstract

For many, the Old Testament is a challenge to understand. Layers of changes of time, culture, people, institutions, and language seem to act as stumbling blocks to our understanding of and engagement with the Old Testament. How is one supposed to open up the Book of Deuteronomy, for example, plow through all 34 chapters and walk away (1) feeling uplifted, (2) feeling that they understood what they read, and (3) feeling that what they learned had any applicability in their lives?

Those concerns and worries are real and well-founded.
