More book recommendations

The following is from an e-mail I sent to our Sunday School class regarding some suggested reading material. The titles of the books are hyperlinked, so clicking on them should take you to where you can purchase them.

The book I'm going to use as a source for our upcoming study of Samuel is by Peter Leithart, and is called A Son To Me. We won't expect to cover all the material in it for the lessons, just hit the high points. Reading along is not a requirement; I only provide this for those interested in "digging deeper" than we can get in a thirty minute SS class.

Here is a list of book recommendations covering some of the material we've been studying the past few weeks during our "Introduction to reading the Old Testament" series. All of these are excellent; I've listed them in order of recommendation:

-Through New Eyes by James Jordan--a great book on OT imagery and its use in forming a Biblical world view
-A House for My Name by Peter Leithart--an overall survey of the OT, complete with study questions
-The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses by Vern Poythress--great book on seeing Christ in the Law
-Primeval Saints by James Jordan--an excellent study of the overall themes of the book of Genesis
-He Gave Us Stories by Richard Pratt--great book on reading and understanding OT narratives
