Greetings dear listeners, welcome to our third talk in our series on the Old Testament Survey. In our last talk, we introduced all the four categories of books that make up the Old Testament; law, history, wisdom and prophecy. We mentioned that we will look into each category on its own. So today we begin with the first category “the law”and will speak two sessions on this category. For this first session, we will explain the purpose and significance of the law in the Old Testament.
