Christopher Glyn

The book of Exodus details the events that led up to the mass departure of the Israelite people from Egypt, where they had been slaves for hundreds of years. The early life of Moses, the author of all five books of the Torah, is recounted in these passages and depicts his journey from being raised as a prince of Egypt to becoming the leader of the Israelites and delivering them from Egyptian bondage. At the end of Exodus is a set of laws, including the Ten Commandments, given to Moses by God for the Israelites to abide by in order to remain God's chosen people.

Exodus

Something of a sequel to the book of Exodus, the book of Leviticus continues to relay God's commandments to the Israelites - but in more detail. Here, Moses gives divine instructions on the procedures and traditions used in sacrifice, atonement and daily life, many of which are still adhered to by the Jewish religion today. Throughout this book, the idea of God's holiness is emphasized, as well as the understanding that God's chosen people were to lead holy lives in order to please Him.

Leviticus

This book follows the Israelite people on their journey to the Promised Land and depicts their continual disobedience and rebellion towards God, despite the many signs and miracles performed through Moses. To punish them for their waywardness, God instructs the Israelites to wander the desert for forty years, and it is in this time period that Numbers was written. As its name suggests, Numbers also contains a great deal of statistical information and laws directed towards the younger generation of the Israelites, who had not committed the sins of their elders.

Numbers

Deuteronomy means "second law", and in this book, the laws given to the Israelite people by Moses are re-stated and renewed for the second generation who were allowed to enter the Promised Land. This is the final book of the Torah and was primarily authored by Moses, although the last chapters relate the transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua, and Moses' death atop Mt. Nebo. Throughout Deuteronomy, the prominent hope of a second chance, and a renewal of their covenant with God, reassures the Israelites that they will not repeat the sins of their forefathers.

Deuteronomy

The conquest of Canaan, the Promised Land, by the Israelites is recounted in the book of Joshua, as well as the subsequent division of the land amongst the various tribes. The battle stories depicted here, notably the battle of Jericho, portray both the astounding victories of the Israelites due to their faith in God, and the consequences of disobedience and disbelief.

Joshua

The story of Ruth was written during the time of the judges in Israel and portrays an alternate view of the otherwise graphic and immoral events which took place as a result of the Israelite's sin and unfaithfulness to God. Although it is also a beautifully written love story, Ruth is an encouraging reminder that obedience to God and adherence to His laws, even in difficult times, brings blessings and rewards.

Ruth

Similar to 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles is the history of the Israelites retold from the perspective of the prophet Ezra. This book begins with the reign of King Solomon and the subsequent division of Israel into the northern and southern tribes. The latter, who were led by King Solomon's son, Rehoboam, and their continued waywardness, are the focuses of these passages, as well as the eventual overthrow of the Israelites by the Assyrians and the Babylonians. 2 Chronicles was an important reminder of the history of the Jews and the events that had led up to their captivity, so that future generations would not repeat their mistakes.

1 Chronicles

IMPORTANT - THIS IS THE WRONG TEXT - IT IS FOR 1 CHRONICLES. Reportedly written by the prophet Ezra after the Jewish return from captivity in Babylon, the first book of Chronicles recapitulates the history told thus far from Adam to Solomon. This book includes many genealogies, family histories and religious information, but the focus of these chapters is on King David's house. 1 Chronicles provides a different perspective through the eyes of a priest, and was written to remind the Jewish people both of their heritage and of God's promise to King David that his descendants would rule in Jerusalem forever. At a time of great hardship for the Israelites, this book emphasises that God's promises still remain steadfast for those who have faith.

Ezra

The book of Nehemiah recounts the struggle of the Jewish people's return to Jerusalem after being held in captivity for 70 years. Unfortified and disorganized, the Jews look to Nehemiah, their temporary governor, to help them rebuild their city walls before the surrounding enemies attack. Nehemiah is an important example of the astounding successes that a good leader can achieve if he puts his trust in God.

Nehemiah

The story of Job is one of endurance and faith in times of hardship, suffering and loss. This book is filled with theological passages and is a revered work of literary magnificence that debates the frequently asked question, "Why does God allow good people to suffer?" The lessons taught in Job are an encouraging reminder of God's omniscience and omnipotence that are beyond all human comprehension.

Written by King Solomon at the end of his reign, Ecclesiastes contains honest thoughts and reflections on his experiences as king of Israel. Although he was blessed with great wisdom, wealth and power, the tone of this book is one of regret as he reveals his shortcomings as king and his disobedience towards God. This book is filled with relevant advice on how to pursue a simple, godly life filled with much greater rewards than material goods could ever bring.

Ecclesiastes

Isaiah is the first of the prophetic books of the Bible and was written by the man of the same name during the time of the kings in Israel. Like many of the prophets during this period, Isaiah attempted to warn the Israelites of the consequences of turning away from God. This book is filled with the promise of judgment towards sin and disobedience, but also the assurance of reward for faithfulness. Additionally, Isaiah contains beautiful, descriptive prophecies about Jesus Christ, including incredible details about his birth, life and death.

Isaiah

The book of Jeremiah was written during the end of the reign of kings and the subsequent capture of the Judeans by Babylon. Jeremiah prophesies the judgment to come for the Jewish people, who had strayed from God, and laments their stubborn unwillingness to repent. Although this book contains prophecies of destruction and retribution, the forgiveness of God for the truly repentant is clearly manifested and predicts a hopeful outlook for the future.

Jeremiah

The book of Ezekiel was written during the Jewish exile to Babylon, as the Israelites struggled to keep their faith while surrounded by foreign customs, foods, and religions. Although there are numerous prophecies of judgment for the Israelites' pride and arrogant self-assurance, Ezekiel teaches that God's punishment is not out of cruelty, but to teach humility and repentance to a wayward nation.

Ezekiel

The first of the Minor Prophets, Hosea was written during the reign of the wicked kings in Northern Israel who led their people into idolatry and sin. Selflessly using his own family to represent Israel's unfaithfulness to God, Hosea exemplifies the everlasting forgiveness of God after repentance.

Hosea

Only one chapter long, the book of Obadiah is the shortest in the Old Testament, and prophesies the destruction of Edom, the neighboring city to Judea. Obadiah warns of the dangers of pride, rebellion and sin, and reveals the vengeance of God against nations who reject Him.

Obadiah

The book of Jonah was written by the prophet whom God sent to the wicked city of Nineveh in order to warn them of the judgment to come because of their sinful ways. One of the most beloved tales in the Bible, the story of Jonah teaches valuable lessons, including the consequences of running away from God and the magnitude of His forgiveness for repentant sinners.

Jonah

The book of Micah is filled with judgment alongside the gift of hope and it is an encouraging reminder that God is always willing to forgive even the greatest of sins. It contains both the promise of destruction for the wicked kingdoms of Samaria and Israel, who had become haughty and rejected God for false idols, as well as a beautiful prophetic piece on the coming of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer.

Micah

Similar to the other prophetic books, Zephaniah prophesies a cycle of judgment followed by repentance for the wayward Israelite people. Unlike the other prophets, Zephaniah was the grandson of a king and therefore offers a unique perspective into the corruption and sin that perpetrated many of the rulers of that era. In these passages, Zephaniah urges a return to godliness, so that the people of Israel might be saved from the approaching judgment of God.

Zephaniah

The book of Malachi is the last book in the Old Testament and was written after the Jews had returned from exile and rebuilt their temple. These passages contain instructions to the Israelites to be consistent in their worship of God and not to forsake Him in times of difficulty. Malachi prophesies of the consequences of turning away from God and urges the Israelites to stay faithful to Him.
