<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>What does the Old Testament--especially the law--have to do with your Christian life? In this warm, accessible volume, Carmen Joy Imes takes readers back to Sinai, arguing that we've misunderstood the command about taking the Lord's name in vain. Instead, Imes says that this command is really about bearing God's name, a theme that continues throughout the rest of Scripture.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament--especially the Old Testament law--has to do with your Christian life?</strong> You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees. In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes readers back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about taking the Lord's name in vain. Instead, Imes says that this command is about bearing God's name, a theme that continues throughout the rest of Scripture. Readers will revisit the story of Israel as they trudge through the wilderness from a grueling past to a promising future. The story of Israel turns out to be our story too, and you'll discover why Sinai still matters as you follow Jesus today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Did Old Testament law apply to Christians in the New Testament? Are they still relevant today? With a writing style that is straightforward and recurrently witty, Imes answers those questions and more. Not only does the author demonstrate a solid understanding of biblical history, but she also introduces and explains concepts that the non-expert can appreciate. . . . Highly recommended for all students of biblical history, and especially for Christians who want to understand the connection between the Old and New Testaments.</p>--Chad Clark, Library Journal, November 2019<br>
