The Rise and fall of the Old Testament Church
Dr. Scott Hahn

The third in a series following Genesis and Exodus, in The Rise and Fall of the Old Testament Church, Dr. Scott Hahn reveals what happened when Israel turned its back on God’s Covenant. As you join Dr. Hahn on this exciting journey of discovery through the historical books of the Old Testament, you’ll encounter much that you could not anticipate as you uncover the deep Catholics significance of these crucial episodes of salvation history.

Spiritually Significant
Now available on CD for the first time, this comprehensive series covers the fascinating history of God’s People from the conquest of the Promised Land through the years of the united kingdom and its division, to the Babylonian exile and the return of the remnant to rebuild Jerusalem. Beginning in Joshua you’ll discover the profound spiritual significance of the fall of Jericho, Israel’s success when faithful to the Lord, and their defeat when disobedient. Then, during years of turmoil when God’s People were constantly menaced by their enemies, the Book of Judges traces the tragic cyclical tale of Israel’s “fair weather friendship” with God. As you listen, Dr. Hahn unpacks the pattern of Israel falling from the worship of the True God, how God allows Israel to fall into the hands of its enemies, and how God delivers the people when they turn back to Him.

Insightful and Enlightening
Dr. Hahn’s masterful presentation of the epic tale of Salvation History continues as Israel becomes a kingdom in the books of Samuel and Kings. David’s long reign and his covenant with God, the glorious years of Solomon, the division of the kingdom, and the exile of the southern tribes to Babylon all come to life as Dr. Hahn dramatically illustrates how Christian theology draws upon these powerful images and incidents from the tumultuous story of God’s Chosen People. Finally, in the book of Daniel, Dr. Hahn unveils the apocalyptic vision of the coming of the Son of Man that precedes the remnant’s return to the City of David and foreshadows the everlasting reign of Christ.
Engrossing, often entertaining, and always enlightening, Hahn’s masterful exposition of the historical books of the Old Testament will insightfully inform your understanding of the Old Covenant and deepen your appreciation of your Catholic faith. This series is a must for every serious Catholic student of the Bible. Order now and discover how the history of Israel prepares the way for the new and everlasting Covenant with Christ.
