The Old Testament Holy Bible King James Version: Easy Verse Reference Edition

The Old Testament is the collection of books that forms the first of the two-part Christian Biblical canon. All the books of western canons of the Old Testament are found in the Septuagint, although the order does not always coincide with the modern ordering of the books. The Old Testament is God's biography, the story of his passionate encounters with people. It is also a prequel to the story of Jesus, who came to answer the questions that troubled the ancient writers and still trouble us today. For expressing our deepest longings and voicing our whole range of our lives and emotions, the Old Testament has no equal. - Philip Yancey in The Bible Jesus Read.
