O LORD, I give my life to you.2 I trust in you, my God!Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.4 Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow.5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.6 Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD.Psalm 25:1-7The Book of Psalms is without question one of the most well-known books of the Bible. You open up your Bible in the middle and you're likely to open to a Psalm. Psalms are read at weddings and funerals, you see them written on artwork and mugs and frames. But how should we read the Psalms? What does Psalms teach us about God and about ourselves? Today I'm grateful to have Dr. Tremper Longman navigating us through the book of Psalms. Dr. Longman is the author of How to Read the Psalms, the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Psalms, and was one of the lead translators for the New Living Translation or NLT.

In this episode of How to Read the Bible, Nate Claiborne and Jonathan Duckett discuss the book of Isaiah. Sometimes referred to as the "5th Gospel" Isaiah is an introduction to the prophetic literature and a case study in making sense of double fulfillments in poetic prophecy. For more resources, the chapter on Isaiah in A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the Old Testament: The Gospel Promised is helpful for understanding the structure of the book. An accessible commentary on Isaiah is John Oswalt's in the NIV Application Commentary series. also useful is Alec Motyer's volume in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary series. There are actually two Bible Project videos on Isaiah. The first is covers chapters 1-39: https://youtu.be/d0A6Uchb1F8. The second covers chapters 40-66: https://youtu.be/_TzdEPuqgQg.

See also Matthew 5:45.His presence and nature are overpowering, utterly humbling.If we are awed and humbled by his work in the natural world, then we should also trust that he rules the moral world. God is just.The Lord is not pleased when he or his ways are misrepresented.God doesn’t always answer our questions in ways we expect.God uses suffering to mature us spiritually. He does not view suffering in the same way that we do!In the story of Job God foreshadows the death of another righteous and innocent man, whose suffering redeems the world: Jesus Christ.For kids:Truth be told, the message of Job generally speaks much more to adults than to most kids. That is, few children have had to wrestle with the issues of theodicy (how God can be just, in light of the suffering and evil which he permit to take place in this life). Still, some kids have experienced tremendous suffering and loss, and insight into "Why bad things happen to good people" may in fact be highly meaningful to them. This is especially important considered younger children's tendency to internalize -- to blame themselvesfor bad things that happen. Just as for adults, the truth will set children free, too.Key verses:Job 1:10 – Satan charges that God has put a "hedge" around Job. He severely doubts the purity of his motives.Job 1:21 – The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.Job 31:1ff – Job has led a righteous life.Job 40:8 – God is righteous, nor should we charge him with wrong.Job 42:10 – Job prays for his friends.James 5:11 – He is the paragon of perseverance.Next lesson: The Proverbs 31 Woman and Man
Today we began actually with the last verse of the third chapter, in which Job said, “I cannot relax! And I cannot settle! And I cannot rest! And agitation keeps coming back!” (Job 3:25 translated by Francis I Anderson in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Job). As you may readily see, this translation is somewhat different from what you may read in the KJV, which is rather odd, or the NKJV. So we are left with Job in a state of agitation and weary. It is at this point that Eliphaz, who may have been the eldest, since he spoke up first from Job’s three friends. Job wasn’t asking Eliphaz particularly for his counsel, but Eliphaz was going to give it anyway! Eliphaz describes to us something about Job that we would not have known otherwise, and that was that Job had been one that those in need, the weak and the feeble had gone to for help, and he had helped. But then Eliphaz seems to be saying, “But Job, the shoe is now on the other foot! I wonder will you take a dose of your own medicine and see how you like it (vv.4-5). Then Eliphaz “sucker punches” Job with a challenge to his ‘reverence’ and ‘integrity’ (v.6). We may wonder at the theology of Eliphaz, maybe expecting it to be off! But in fact it would be hard to find any fault with it (cf. Gal.6:7; Hos. 10:13), even though much of it could be based on what he has seen, or observed, or wether it is based on a “supernatural manifestation” that he has had (See vv.7-11, 12-16). We are not told whether the “spirit” that appeared to him and spoke to him was of the LORD or was demonic, and so we need to be discerning (See 1 Jn.4:1-3; 1...

For setting Joshua into its larger context in the story of Scripture, Josh recommends Dominion and Dynasty: A Theology of the Hebrew Bible. That book is part of a series called New Studies in Biblical Theology that we would all recommend. The commentary by Richard Hess in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary series is an excellent compact resource. It covers exegetical, theological, and even archaeological details well. For a more pastoral, application oriented commentary, Nate would recommend Joshua: No Falling Words by Dale Ralph Davis (and any other commentary he has written).For interested listeners wrestling with issues surrounding the Israelite conquest of the Canaanites, a pair of books by Paul Copan may prove useful. Is God A Moral Monster is a more broad treatment of issues in the Old Testament, where Did God Really Command Genocide is a more focused treatment on the issues in Joshua.
The Psalms have given voice to the prayers and petitions of generations of Jews and Christians alike. They represent the deepest longings of kings and desperate men, the righteous and the penitent, all “seeking the face of God” (27:8 and 105:4). But they often seem formidable poetically, as finely wrought articulations expressions of both grief and piety, but also ethically, where lamentation turns into imprecation. What’s the best way to access the meaning and significance of the Psalms? How does a commentary function alongside our reading of the text itself? And how did the early Christian witnesses summon or evoke their images and motifs in their writings? Why did they insist on reading their Christology back into the Psalms? We touch on the answers to these questions and others in an hour-long conversation with Tremper Longman III about his new book, Psalms: An Introduction and Commentary (IVP Academic, 2014) in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary series, published by IVP Academic. We talk about the peculiar enterprise of writing Biblical commentary, the challenge of writing about the Psalms in particular, and Longman’s own personal arc from meeting Billy Graham to learning Akkadian and studying Babylonian mythology and literature. Tremper Longman is the Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies at Westmont College. Tremper has authored or co-authored more than 20 books, including commentaries on Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Nahum, Proverbs, Jeremiah and Lamentations, and Job. His scholarship has ranged widely from the literary study of the Bible to history and historiography, most notably expressed in his two textbooks A Biblical History of Israel, with Iain Provan and Phil Long, and Introduction to the Old Testament, with Raymond B. Dillard. Professor Longman was one of the main translators of the popular New Living Translation and has served as a consultant on other popular translations of the Bible including the Message and the Holman Standard Bible. He earned a BA in Religion at Ohio Wesleyan University, an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. in ancient Near Eastern studies from Yale University.
