Bruce Waltke offers a canonical look at the OT and all of the 39 books really do contribute to one story.� Waltke shows how God reveals himself in the OT (primarily in the narrative booksâ�"Genesis-Ezra/Nehemiah). He shows how the books of the OT fit together within both the OT and biblical canons.
Waltke wants his readers to know God personally for who he is, the "I am here" and "I am eternal" and to understand how God has revealed himself through his word throughout history. Waltke desires to turn the OT from looking like disconnected stories of biblical heroes to a unified narrative in which we all participate.
The book contains three main sections: Part One is the Introduction which looks at the basis, task, and method of OT theology. Waltke spends time explaining what narrative theology is to help us understand how to, well, read the narratives theologically. This serves a purpose to help us understand the depth of character in the people we read about.
Parts Two and Three (which cover the entire OT) view God's self-revelation to the world throughout history in the form of "gifts." In these chapters, Waltke explains the inner-workings of the OT's theology and even its connections to the NT,
The only really disappointment I found is the disproportionate amount of space dedicated to different parts of the OT. 630 pages are given to the Pentateuch/Historical books (Chronicles received only 11 pages). But, in Part 3, the Prophets receive 45 pages and Ruth + Poetical books receive 120 pages, a total of only 165 pages. The information is excellent, but Jeremiah and Ezekiel receive 1 page each, Isaiah receives 5, and the minor prophets receive anything from a few paragraphs to only one.
Recommended?
The OT was Jesus and the apostles' Bible, it is God's Word, and it deserves to be studied. Highly recommended.
