Enduring Treasure: The Lasting Value of the Old Testament for Christians

He said to them, 'Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.' (Matthew 13:52)Many Christians hardly ever read the Old Testament of the Bible, thinking it somehow less important than the New Testament. Yet there are many topics in the Old Testament which remain vitally important for believers today.In this book Dr Pieter Lalleman argues that the Old Testament is more than just a series of predictions about the coming of Jesus! The first part of the Bible is an Enduring Treasure, of lasting value for the Christian church, and as such it must continue to play an important role in our personal faith.Rev Dr Pieter J. Lalleman is Tutor in Biblical Studies at Spurgeon's College, London. His previous works include: The Lion and the Lamb: Studies on the Book of Revelation, The Acts of John, A Critical Companion to the Bible, and an entry in The Encyclopedia of Ancient History.
