Genesis and Exodus lay the groundwork for the rest of the Bible—God’s creation, the Fall and the promise of salvation, the patriarchs, and journey out of Egypt and into the wilderness. In their commentary on Genesis and Exodus, John N. Oswalt and Allen P. Ross explore the central themes.
Studying the book of Leviticus is not something that many people do, but Baker mentions that it is a necessary book to read for three reasons: theological, religious and historical
Joshua, Judges, Ruth is prefaced by a substantial introduction that offers historical background important for understanding. Then readers are taken through the text, passage-by-passage, starting with the text of the New Living Translation.
In Cornerstone Biblical Commentary: 1 & 2 Samuel, J. Robert Vannoy covers such topics as the reign of Saul, how his reign corresponds with David, Samuel and Israel. Also discussed are the famous stories of David and Goliath as well as that of David and Jonathan.
1&2 Kings feautures leading OT scholar William Barnes and offers a passage-by-passage analysis of 1 & 2 Kings, clarifying the message of each section and presenting an overview of the relevant issues.
Mark J. Boda makes reference to the point that from a literary and historical standpoint, the books of Chronicles have been ignored and even criticized in Biblical studies.
Ezra deals with the sacrifice that we all have to make at one point in our lives and how to deal with the choices that must be made when faced with sacrifice.
The books of Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs belong to the category of writings typically termed “wisdom literature.” Biblical wisdom may be defined as the exposition of a fundamental order within the universe, and wisdom is to know and follow this order.
Psalms has often been thought of as a book of praise, but it also contains mourning, bewilderment, and confusion. In fact, the amount of “negative psalms” outnumbers the psalms of praise. Futato shows us the difference between the negative aspects and the psalms of praise.
These beautiful and eloquent books contain some of the most striking poetry and prophecy in the entire Old Testament. The book of Isaiah has been remarkably influential on art, music, political theory, missions, and evangelism over a long period of time.

The Gospel of Luke, which has been described by Ernest Renan as “the most beautiful book in the world” is the first part of a 2-volume work devoted to the life of Jesus and the opening years of the Christian church. In Luke’s Gospel, we are introduced to “everything Jesus began to do and teach”.
The Gospel of John is so simple that it is often the first biblical book given to recent converts to help them understand Christian truth, and yet it is so difficult that only experienced scholars attempt to study it. It is paradoxically the most accessible and yet the most complex of the four.
Paul’s letter to the Romans is one of the most significant writings ever to come from the hand of a Christian. Theologically, it is certainly the most important of all of Paul’s letters, and many would say it is the single most important document in the entire New Testament.
