People say like why read the early bible. But you want to know what went down and what was revealed. History. Why read Job, human condition. Why read psalms learning how to love and praise. Why read Solomon when in many ways he still resonates. Why read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel when the prophesy and revelations are the backbone through the tumult. Why read the short prophets when nobody ever suffered, prophesied and revealed hope like them.
Old testament love in.
