An Old Testament Theology: An Exegetical, Canonical, and Thematic Approach is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Old Testament is more than a religious history of the nation of Israel. It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith. It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is inspired revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God.

Only the Ten Commandments are given directly by God; the rest of the Law is mediated to them through Moses. Instructively, God’s word to Moses has priority over his words to prophets because to Moses he spoke directly face to face and clearly but to prophets he spoke indirectly through visions that needed interpretation (Num. 12:1–8). Two texts make a point to distinguish the Ten Commandments from the rest of the law by their different modes of revelation. Exodus 20:18–21
