'John Holdsworth manages to combine quality Old Testament scholarship with a very accessible style, drawing out links to a wealth of aspects of our contemporary culture – and including innovative suggestions for ways of exploring the material.' --
Clare Amos, Director of Theological Studies, Anglican Communion

‘John Holdsworth has the ability to expound the Old Testament’s relevance to our world in an accessible, readable, and insightful way. This is theology at its best – seeing events in our world and relating them to God.’ -- Barry Morgan, Archbishop of Wales

‘This is the Old Testament at its most talkative and fascinating!  If only all clergy taught their congregations this way.  With deft illustrations and brilliant contemporary parallels John Holdsworth lets the old stories breath again.  The culture of today and the world of the Old Testament may seem miles apart; read this book and think again.’ -- John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford
