About the Old Testament
Here are each of the books of the Old Testament, displayed in the order they appear in the Bible.
Genesis - part 1
[ click to listen to audio file ]
This wondrous 'book of beginnings' is not an encyclopaedia of all sciences and is not a 'missive of myths'. It is about God, about us as human beings and the relationship which is the root of all relationships.
Genesis - part 2
[ click to listen to audio file ]
It begins... again.
Exodus
[ click to listen to audio file ]
The birth of a nation and what a nation involves - especially relevant today! We note that the Bible word for all specially committed relationships is 'covenant'.
Leviticus
[ click to listen to audio file ]
Do not be fooled - this is not a primitive religion. This is about the cosmic issue of every age, namely the elimination of pollution. It dares to seek a supernatural solution!
Numbers
[ click to listen to audio file ]
Population explosion and the priorities of human survival is the book's focus and it does not pull punches about our slow learning ability.
Deuteronomy
[ click to listen to audio file ]
This is ever the word to the affluent society. It still addresses our mistaken self-sufficiency.
Joshua
[ click to listen to audio file ]
This is an overview of a military campaign 'How The West (of Jordan) Was Won'. Deeper it goes to the foundations of building a nation which no military solution can ever solve.
Judges
[ click to listen to audio file ]
Israel's 'Little Shop of Horrors'. A frank description as hordes of ex-slaves and ex-desert survivors struggled with the search for a just society.
Ruth
[ click to listen to audio file ]
A woman's feature. A romantic love story which redefines love and reveals the woman outsider who changed history.
