Encountering the God of Love: Portraits From the Old Testament Brad Kelle

Christians have a long history of believing that the God of the Old Testament is a different, less loving God than the God of the New Testament. Old Testament professors and scholars have come together to paint a different portrait of our changeless Creator-one that shows God's immutable nature of love and compassion demonstrated in every major section of the Old Testament scriptures. From the Pentateuch to the Prophets, Encountering the God of Love offers new perspectives on old scriptures to prove that God was, is, and will always be a God of love.
