This comprehensive interpretation of the Old Testament shows that the Word of God in the Old Testament is also the Word to the present-day church. The author discusses dealing with the power of revelatory language in the Old Testament, why the Old Testament is necessary, and how the one story in the canon creates community in the church. She provides an excellent basis for interpreting the literature of the Old Testament - narratives, prophets, psalms, law, and wisdom literature (for the purpose of Christian preaching).
