About this listen

Some people find the Old Testament to be confusing, out of date, and essentially replaced by the New Testament. They are missing out. The Old Testament offers us a grand narrative that reveals God's work, God's purposes, and God's wisdom. Christopher J. H. Wright fits the pieces together and shows us the coherent whole. Using seven key sentences drawn straight from the Old Testament, he connects the dots and points us toward Jesus.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you." "You shall have no other gods before me." "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news."

Such sentences as these are not merely beautiful or helpful (though they are that). They are part of the great drama of Scripture, the story of God's plan of redemption that embraces all nations and the whole of his creation. Wright starts from the beginning, describing God's promises and covenants with his people and his mission to bless the world. At the end of this short survey, listeners will clearly see God's faithfulness and love for his people and will understand how the Old Testament scriptures prepared for the identity and mission of Jesus as Messiah, Savior, and Lord.

Mechanical, boring reading

The book is great quality; the reading sounds like a computer voice and is extremely boring.

So hard to listen to…

Robotic and dry, impossible to listen to. I have tried so many times, thinking this would help me as this book is required for a class I’m taking. Unfortunately, I can’t return it.

Very difficult to listen to

I purchased this in audible because it is mandatory for a class. I was having a difficult time reading the content and hoped the audio would be better. I unfortunately did not listen to the sample first. This was a great error. The narrator sounds like a computer generated British robot that is having a difficult time knowing where to put the punctuation.
I do not recommend this audible listen. Be sure to sample first.

Very hard to listen

The book is excellent, but the narration is as bad as it gets. It seems the audible file was computer generated, but with an English accent!
