A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture (original 1998; edition 1998)

My small group chose this book with the idea that we wanted to do a book on the Old Testament that linked to or referenced the New Testament. This book certainly focuses on the Old Testament, but doesn't really tie it into Christ until chapter 12. There are some nuggets of information that I picked up, to be sure, but, overall, I was pretty disappointed by the book. At then end, the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament were even more difficult for me to reconcile than before I started. Hahn goes just far enough to point out the double-standard of God authorizing mass genocide in the old testament when Christ has us "turn the other cheek", but never reconciles the two. He merely points it out and leaves it. ( )
