The Old Testament
Genesis is the record of God's creation of this world and the human race, the
fall of the first human family into sin, the great flood that destroyed the
entire world, and the history of the beginnings of the nation of Israel. From
Exodus to Esther is the history of the people of Israel until about 400 B.C.
Job, Psalms and Proverbs have the highest form of human feelings in literary
expressions. The beauty and depth of these literary books are unequaled. They
are mainly poems, essays and dramas. From Isaiah to Malachi are books of prophecy.
