About this listen

The best stories subtly weave themes and characters and symbols into a stunning final tapestry. For many Christians, sadly, the Old Testament is merely a jumble of moralistic stories and weird rituals, genealogies, and historical chronicles. What is the point of it all, and what does it have to do with Jesus?

In this short and easy to listen audiobook, Leithart gives a sweeping overview of the Bible, its stories, and the patterns and symbols that recur throughout it, highlighting the ways many of the little stories look forward to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus himself.

Although the audiobook is lots of fun, the lessons it teaches are far from trivial. The Gospels say again and again Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Christians need to learn to read the Old Testament the way Jesus and the Apostles read it, so that we can delight in the word of God and encounter him in its stories.

This audiobook can be easily listened to by high school students and includes review questions for anyone who wants to use it in their curriculum. However, it will also give anyone familiar with scripture much to think about.

Love everything from the James B Jordan camp of literary allegorical approach. 30+ years of bible reading and they never fail to show me a new connection I had missed. Rewiring how I approach Biblical narrative.

Can not recommend enough must listen for those interested in the interconnectedness of everything.
