The earliest Jerusalem Church in the 30's AD was composed of Jews who knew the Law and the Prophets by heart. The rabbis had declared in the Talmud, "All the prophets prophesied of nothing but of the days of the Christ." Although there were no written New-Testament scriptures for two or three decades, the most powerful Church Christianity has ever seen, was able to find Christ abundantly in the Old Testament. As the apostles faded off the scene, knowledge of the books of the Law of Moses began to diminish and wither. Some modern Christian denominations today almost completely disregard Moses. Dennis Moel asserts that this ignorance has hampered the Church. Moel has plumbed the riches of the Law to give us delightful and insightful pictures of God's deep meanings from the Old Covenant, unearthing dozens of facts about the Temple that will thrill you. He has gone BACK to the New Testament. Dennis Moel was raised a Jew in Frankfort, Kentucky, but his knowledge of Judaism and of the Bible was miniscule. Coming to Christ at the age of 28 transformed his life. While serving as a pastor and family counselor, he has also devoted himself to espousing the riches of God's Word. His three children appear in illustrations in the book.
