If you’ve ever tried to read through the Old Testament and have been terribly confused by all the different stories then your not alone. I have always had a difficult time trying to build coherence between chapters from one book to another. Even after 3 years of seminary, I still had a tough time seeing the fluidity of the Old Testament. As of late, I have been doing a personal survey of the Old Testament and so I decided to post my one sentence to keep in mind while reading the Old Testament. These sentences will more or less provide a fluid backdrop for organizing all the different stories into one theme.
Genesis: God is on the move.
Exodus: People need to get moving.
Numbers: The Pain of God and man moving together.
Leviticus: The partnership of God and man.
Deuteronomy: Trust & Obey or Perish.
