GENESIS - volume 1 EPSC

ISBN: 9780852345375
Author: John Currid
Format: Hardback 216 x 138
Page count: 482 pages 

Genesis is a book about beginnings — the creation of the universe, the formation of mankind, the establishment of the covenant and the founding of the people of Israel. Many Christians regard the Old Testament as merely a collection of interesting stories to be taught in Sunday school, but which have little application for the church today except as providing examples or illustrations from a bygone, almost barbarous, age.

LEVITICUS - EPSC

ISBN: 9780852345764
Author: John Currid
Format: Hardback 216 x 138
Page count: 400 pages 

Leviticus used to be the first book of the Bible read and studied by children in the synagogue. In the church, it is perhaps the last one read, if it is ever given any attention at all.

Numbers

ISBN: 9780852347058
Author: John Currid

The place of the book of Numbers in the literary pattern is clear. First of all, it concludes Israel’s stay at Sinai, and it prepares the people for the march to the land of promise (1:1 - 10:10). Secondly, the book records the actual journey from Sinai to the plains of Moab, and it ends with Israel prepared to launch a campaign into the land of promise.

Paper count: 610 pages 

When Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment, he cited a passage from Deuteronomy 6 as the fundamental and first tenet of Scripture. The purpose of Deuteronomy is to teach the people of God how to behave in every area of life.

Job

ISBN: 9780852346648
Author: Hywel Jones

The book of Job has been highly spoken of by many, both inside the Christian church and out. Thomas Carlyle, the nineteenth-century man of letters, wrote of it, ‘I call it, apart from all theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with pen… There is nothing written, I think, in the Bible or out of it, of equal literary merit.’

Isaiah vol. 1

ISBN: 9780852346563

Isaiah vol. 2

ISBN: 9780852346822
Author: John MacKay

Volume 2 of 2, which covers chapters 40-66.

Daniel

ISBN: 9780852346495
Author: Alan Harman

As humans we can never fully understand the mind of God, but he has revealed what is necessary for us to know of himself and his ways. God has given us sufficient teaching to encourage us to persevere, but we are also able to look forward with expectancy.

Micah

ISBN: 9780852347171
Author: Dale Ralph Davis

The prophet Micah lived in dark times. He was one of a small remnant of faithful believers living in a godless society where corruption and violence were rife, the vulnerable were the victims of exploitation and the religious leaders failed to speak out against the people's sin, but instead gave them the message they wanted to hear.

Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi

ISBN: 9780852347126
Author: Iain Duguid

The last three books of the Old Testament, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, have not always received the attention they deserve from the church. This is in some ways surprising, since the Gospel writers quote Zechariah 9-14 more often than any other biblical source in explaining Christ's sufferings and death.
