What are we reading?
“Bearing God’s Name: Why Sinai Still Matters”
by Carmen Joy Imes
“With this book, I’m taking a different approach. I believe that we need the Old Testament as Christians, not later, but now. Rather than unhitching, I want to make the case that we should re-hitch to Israel’s Scriptures so that we can truly understand who Jesus is and what he came to do. Without some guidance, we might easily conclude that the Old Testament is a terrible burden to pull and wish to walk away from it. We need an experienced guide who can help us see the enduring value of the Old Testament for the life of faith. I’ve had many such guides who have helped bring the Old Testament to life, and this book is my means of passing along to you their most important insights along with my own. I hope it will change your mind about the relevance of the Old Testament for Christians.” – from the introduction of Bearing God’s Name by Carmen Joy Imes
