The Old Testament is the first section of the Christian Bible, based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible, a collection of religious writings by ancient Israelites. It is the counterpart to the New Testament, the second portion of the Christian Bible. The Old Testament canon varies between Christian Churches; Protestants and Latter-Day Saints accept only the books found in the canon of the Hebrew Bible, dividing them into 39 books, while the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches accept somewhat larger collections of writings.
The Old Testament consists of many distinct books written, compiled, and edited by various authors over a period of centuries. It is not entirely clear at what point the parameters of the Hebrew Bible, the basis for the Christian Old Testament, were fixed. Some scholars have opined that the canon of the Hebrew Bible was established already by about the 3rd century BC, or even later.
The books of the Old Testament can be broadly divided into several sections: 1) the first five books or Pentateuch (Torah); 2) the history books telling the history of the Israelites, from their conquest of Canaan to their defeat and exile in Babylon; 3) the poetic and "Wisdom" books dealing, in various forms, with questions of good and evil in the world; 4) and the books of the biblical prophets, warning of the consequences of turning away from God.
Clinton Richard Dawkins FRS FRSL (born 26 March 1941) is an Englishethologist, evolutionary biologist, and writer. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982, he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment. This concept is presented in his book The Extended Phenotype. In 2006, he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
Dawkins is a noted atheist, and is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker, he argues against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he describes evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. In his most popular book, his 2006 book The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion. He is an opponent of creationism being taught in schools. He makes regular television and radio appearances, predominantly discussing his books, his atheism and his ideas and opinions as a public intellectual.
This is a brilliant and very quick review of the Old Testament. What's most shocking (but accurate) is the depiction of the fall of Israel and its' people due to disobedience to GOD. Thank you RiverGlen Christian Church for putting this together, and allowing me to share it.
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the Book it is written of Me. Psalm 40:7 This is the complete audio from the Old Testament overview series that i just completed-- from Genesis to Malachi. My prayer is that the Lord will use this to glorify Himself, bless and build up the saints, and save lost and dying men who are on their way to hell. Peace to you.

Sermon for Sunday, January 17, 2016. This is the sixty-eighth sermon preached in English on www.thecloudchurch.org. It was preached by Pastor/Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker, who gives a synopsis of the Old Testament.
In book after book throughout the Hebrew Bible, it is by miracles that God makes Himself known to His chosen people - inspiring them, protecting them and, on occasion - destroying their enemies. Watch more TV shows for free at http://tvtuner.co
"For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!" - Ezekiel 18:32 How could a loving God command the deaths of entire people groups, including women and children, in the Old Testament? I know this could be the most difficult topic of the Bible. Richard Dawkins' being angry with God over this act is warranted if it was senseless violence. Frankly, I wouldn't serve him either if I could not see ANY justification. But placed in a hypothetical situation of my my own son (whom I love) killing my own grandchildren (whom I love), is now raping and killing my own daughter (whom I love), and is intending to do the same with my other children... I begin to understand the dilemma God was facing. Would love for my daughter warrant my use of lethal-force ...
In Unlocking the Bible, Pawson presents a book by book study of the whole Bible . The book is based on Pawson's belief that the Bible should be studied, as it was written, "a book at a time" (certainly not a verse, or even a chapter at a time); and that each book is best understood by discovering why and for whom it was written. It is based on an arranged series of talks in which he set out the background, purpose, meaning and relevance of each book of the Bible.

Part of the Atheist Debates Patreon project: http://www.patreon.com/AtheistDebates When pointing out potential problems with the Bible, one of the more common responses is, "But that's the OLD Testament". So, what does this mean? What exactly are they saying? Do they really know that they're admitting a problem and then trying to solve it...and failing?
An indept evaluation of the violence in the Old Testament.
[Intro:]
Just when you thought it was safe. It really wasn't.
