Many who recognize the abiding value of the Old Testament as God's Word neglect its study because they see it as a difficult and forbidding subject. Although Father Jensen cannot reduce the difficulty, he uses a combination of the historical, literary, and thematic approaches top resent as unified a treatment as possible, one that with even a modest degree of effort will produce rich rewards. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of the Old Testament message. Instead, the most important matters have been chosen and given the space and emphasis they deserve.
