He Loves Forever

Despite popular opinion, the primary characteristic of God in the Old Testament is love. His love is intense and unremitting. His love is forever. This point can’t be stressed too much. The central focus of the Old Testament is God’s love. Written in an easy-to-read and well-documented style, Dr. Thomas Olbricht’s book provides us with an inspiring look at the steadfast, immeasurable love God has for his children by examining the following: Creation, blessings through Abraham, deliverance in the Exodus, protection in the wilderness, promise through the covenants, love through the law, victory in the conquest, inheritance of the land, and Psalms, Proverbs, and the prophets. Dr. Olbricht writes, “The storyline of the Old Testament is easier to follow if one is familiar with the basic contours. This book is designed to identify certain foundational affirmations in the Old Testament and to trace the threads which bind the whole together.”https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1014/thumbnail.jp

Hearing God\u27s Voice: My Life with Scripture in the Churches of Christ

In times of change, Christians have always sought enduring answers from the pages of Scripture. Our hermeneutic—our method of organizing and understanding the message of the Bible—predetermines what answers we will glean. But is our process of understanding based on the Bible, or on our cultural and historical assumptions? In this autobiography, Thomas H. Olbricht (1929–2020) looks back on the last sixty years in Churches of Christ and offers his observations of how our perceptions of Scripture have changed and evolved. He clears a path through the shifting thickets of an unsteady world; a path that leads toward the Everlasting—a way to hear God\u27s voice.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1015/thumbnail.jp
