Moving along

The Old Testament is split up into four sections.
Law (the foundation of the Hebrew faith)
History (the record of Israel's spiritual growth and decline)
Poetry (a presentation of the worship of the Lord and individual faith)
Prophets (the Lord's revelation of His blessings, judgements, and promises)

So far most of our reading has been from the book of Law . The books of Law are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These were mainly written by Moses.

Themes
Genesis 1 - 11: God Begins His Earthly Work
Genesis 12 - 50: God the Sovereign Establishes His Plan
Exodus: God the Savior Redeems His People
Leviticus: God the Holy Provides True Worship
Numbers: God Chastens His People in Love
Deuteronomy: God the King Loves His People


We have also read Job. Job is a book of Poetry.
Theme
Job: God Tries His Servant
