The Old Testament is three-fourths of the Bible, and it is the only Bible Jesus had. He said that it spoke of him (Luke 24:44–45), so reading it through him and for him helps us treasure Christ more and understand all of Scripture better. My my new book Enjoying Jesus’s Bible (Cruciform Press, 2025) condenses for laypeople my earlier Delighting in the Old Testament: Through Christ and For Christ (Crossway, 2024). In it, I seek to show you how to read the Old Testament as God intended, see Jesus in all of Scripture, hope in God’s promises for us, and live faithfully in relation to God’s law. God gave us the Old Testament for our instruction (Rom 15:4; 1 Cor 10:11; 2 Tim 3:16; 1 Pet 1:12). May we enjoy Jesus more by enjoying his Bible.
