What is 8 Old Testament Passages that Changed the World About?

If you hear the word “Goliath,” what name do you immediately want to pair it with? If someone says “Jonah,” what animal pops into your head? If you hear the word “Commandments,” what number comes to mind?

The Old Testament has shaped and continues to shape our lives in profound ways. 8 Old Testament Passages That Changed the World looks at the many ways culture has treated, mistreated, distorted, and brought to life the most well-known portions of the Old Testament. Joseph Bentz examines these inescapable passages and asks why they continue to have such a grip in every arena of life, from movies to advertising to literature to music.

If these words hold such power, what difference could they make in our own lives if we delved into them even deeper? Explore the familiar scriptures about David, Adam and Eve, Noah, Ruth, Abraham, the Shepherd’s Psalm, Moses, and Jonah—and discover in them new meaning for your life.
