Is the Old Testament a mystery to you? Perhaps you know many of the stories but they seem disconnected from each other. Dr. Sandra Richter has brought the Old Testament to life by exploring the real people and places detailed in Scripture. She will explain the history of God's redeeming grace—a story that runs from the Garden of Eden in Genesis to the garden of the New Jerusalem in Revelation!
