One letter and three words describe the entire Old Testament
May 24th, 2011


The Old Testament is easily described by the letter “h.” In fact, if you can remember three words that each begin with the letter “h,” you can have an immediate overview of the entire Old Testament.

· The first “h” is for “History.” The books of Genesis to Esther are all about “history,” especially the history of the Jewish people.

· The second “h” is for “Heart.” The books of Job to Song of Solomon describe the “heart” of the Jewish people.

· The third “h” is for “Hope.” The remaining books in the Old Testament—Isaiah to Malachi—describe the “hope” that eventually came into the world through Jesus.
