The Bible That Jesus Read - Philip Yancey

In The Bible That Jesus Read, Philip Yancey explores the richness, depth, and sometimes perplexing nature of the Old Testament, a part of Scripture that many modern readers tend to overlook. With his trademark honesty and engaging style, Yancey wrestles with the challenging questions, raw emotions, and profound insights found in books such as Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Prophets. He shows how these writings shaped the faith of Jesus and how they remain essential for understanding Gods character, human struggles, and the hope of redemption. Rather than treating the Old Testament as outdated, Yancey invites readers to see its relevance for contemporary life, offering fresh perspectives on suffering, doubt, and faith. This book encourages a deeper appreciation of Scripture as a whole, reminding believers that the Old Testament is not only the foundation of Jesus own spiritual life but also a source of wisdom and comfort for today.
