"Behind the Drama: The Old Testament You Missed" is an upcoming
Covenant Bible Study by Eugene F. Roop, Old Testament scholar and former
Bethany Seminary president, available from Brethren Press this spring
for $7.95 plus shipping and handling. Call 800-441-3712 or order online
at www.brethrenpress.com.
“Our reading of the Old Testament is colored by dramatic texts in
which God acts in extraordinary ways, calling and saving God’s people
through fire and flood,” explains a flier for the resource.
“But too often we focus on these familiar stories alone and ignore
the seemingly unimportant parts, or avoid altogether the hard parts we
don’t understand. This study explores a few of these scriptures--some
overlooked, some troubling--and shows how God works in and through
everyday situations and conflicts to bring hope and faith to ordinary
lives.”
Covenant Bible Studies are relational Bible studies for small groups.
Each contains 10 sessions that promote group interaction and open
discussion about practical aspects of the Christian faith.
