In this introductory study, Dr. Yohanna Katanacho brings the Old Testament into harmonious dialogue with the New Testament and twenty-first century perspectives of Arab Christians and cultures, particularly those from the Palestinian context. From creation to the return from exile during the Persian empire, Dr. Katanacho outlines seven major milestones in the Old Testament and their historical, literary, and theological backgrounds, masterfully displaying that the Old Testament leads us to Christ. Drawing from his experience as a minister and lecturer, this academic yet accessible book is developed from sermons given during his time ministering in an Arab Palestinian church in Nazareth, interacting with contemporary scholarship as it explores contextual questions in Islamic and Jewish perspectives through a Palestinian lens.
