Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament, while helping us to apply what we read to our lives.

This is the third release in a major new series of guides to the Old Testament, suitable for individual or group use. The book of Numbers shows God’s people as cowardly, contemptuous, distrustful and ungrateful. Yet God continues to be faithful to them, allowing them to mature until they are ready to take the land he’s promised them.

The sermons of Deuteronomy are preached on the eve of Israel’s entry to the Promised Land. Moses reminds God’s people what is expected of them and what they can expect of God, what the future will bring if they make the right choices, and exhorts them to love God with all their strength.
