Endorsements

In nearly every conceivable way this little book is outstanding to the point that I can hardly believe so much useful content is concentrated into so few pages. If your typical book is coffee, Loving the Old Testament is espresso.
It's clearly written, interesting, supported by meticulous and creative scholarship, not infrequently humorous, reverent and pious (in the best sense), and very practically applicable especially to a local church context. Furthermore, if you know anything about biblical studies from the last 100 years, you'll know that Moyter's is essentially the evangelical Gandalf. If you're a pastor, I'd encourage you to buy a couple dozen copies and keep them on your free book table or stocked in your bookstore.

What a gem! A simple yet profound little book that is easy to read and keeps us faithful to Biblical theology. Do you want a richer, deeper love for Jesus? Read this - and read it again! Alec Motyer's love for the Old Testament and God-given competence in handling the word of God comes across strongly and is a real incentive to go deeper!
I've bought a copy for each of the older teens in our church.
