Two-thirds of the Christian Bible is the Old Testament (that's 39 books compared to the New Testament's 27). Yet, many Christians are apprehensive about reading and studying the Old Testament. It happened so long ago, it can be hard to understand. The stories can seem strange and dysfunctional and at times, we wonder about the relevance of our lives.
And yet, the Old Testament books were included in the Biblical canon for a reason. They are part of God's story of redemption. They are part of our story!
