The OT Explained and Applied is a 'guide' to understanding what the Old Testament is about. It is not meant to be a thorough and comprehensive treatment, but, as the author writes, primarily 'To present a "glimpse" of the contents of each Old Testament book so that the overall plan and purpose of God might be clearly perceived' (p.15).
Written in clear, user-friendly language, it is warm and educational throughout and where technical terms are dealt with, explanations are invariably given.
