We can know the words of the Old Testament Part 2

We can know the words of the Old Testament Part 1

Review: Last week we saw four reasons why we can know the original words of the Old Testament

1. 1. Reason #1: God’s Word says the Word of God will endure forever
   2. Reason #2: The Old Testament was written down.
   3. Reason #3: Temple officials were intentional in checking the manuscripts
   4. Reason #4: Masora Finalis

Purpose: In this session we shall consider more reasons why we can believe why we can know the actual words of the Old Testament so that we will have faith in God’s Word being God’s Word.

Review: Five Festal Garments

Barry G. Webb.  Five Festal Garments.  Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, March 26^th, 2001.  151 pp.

5 out of 5

Purchase: Westminster | Amazon

This book is on a Christian examination of five books in the Old Testament that are most neglected in the Bible: The Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther.  If you want to learn more about these five books and gain rich insights on them then this volume is worth getting.  This work is a part of the New Studies in Biblical Theology series edited by D.A. Carson.  Personally it was the second title in the series that I read which I looked forward to with much anticipation since the first book I read Adopted into God’s Family left a strong impression.  Five Festal Garments didn’t disappoint.  In fact it exceeded my expectation!
