Un-Perplexing the Old Testament
October 13, 2021
Summary
For many people, when they go to Old Testament, they leave confused. The Old Testament seems to be a disjointed collection of stories and full of different kinds of literature that don't seem to hang together. When seen through the lens of covenant theology, the Old Testament, is a cohesive presentation of God and his plan to save sinners through his promised Christ. Who is this God? What is he like? Can he be trusted? How will he save us? Jon and Justin discuss these questions and more in today's episode.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I are going to help you think through the Old Testament.
And well, we're going to do our best to unperplex it for you.
So much confusion when it comes to how to interpret God's word, just even reading it.
Are we to take it allegorically?
Are we supposed to look at it and moralize all of the text?
Are we take it literally?
It's so confusing.
And so we're going to do our best to help you look at it from a historical and biblical perspective.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast Take Three: Encouraging Worry Pilgrims to Rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed and pastoral perspective.
Your hosts today are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and I am John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Springhill, Tennessee, and we are alive and well today, Justin.
Thankfully, we've had to do this three times.
Why?
Yeah, why do it once when you could do it three times with the triune God we serve?
That's right.
Come on.
He is perfect.
