The Old Testament is God's biography, the story of his compassionate encounters with people and also a prequel to the story of Jesus.
This Zondervan Groupware Small Group Edition uses video and group discussion to explore the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings in an effort to know God better.
In The Bible Jesus Read, award-winning author Philip Yancey combines scholarship and insight to bring new light to old material and stimulate new thought and further study.

This eight-session Zondervan Groupware uses video and group discussion to explore the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings of the Old Testament to help readers know God better. Yancey serves as guide and interpretive leader of each session and, in a series of in-depth interviews and explanations, he covers five crucial segments of the Old Testament: Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, The Prophets.

Yancey approaches each of these major segments from a different point of view and adds additional interpretive material, extending the reach of his best-selling book.

The eight sessions include:

1. Is the Old Testament Worth the Effort?
2. Understanding the Old Testament
3 .Job: Seeing in the Dark
4. Deuteronomy: A Taste of Bittersweet
5. Psalms: Spirituality in Every Key
6. Ecclesiastes: The End of Wisdom
7. The Prophets: God Talks Back
8. Advance Echoes of a Final Answer.

Phil Blackburn
The first thing to note about this DVD is that it is incomplete: it references an accompanying Participants' Guide, which contains all the questions for group discussion but is not included in this package. The DVD does include a printed leader's guide, with an electronic version of the same, but these only point to pages in the Participants' Guide. The second thing to note, in a British context, is that the production of this DVD is very, very American. Philip Yancey's sections are fine, but a large part of this presentation is rather corney graphics with voiceovers, most of which I found grating rather than informative. The third thing is that the language used is very religious (again, less so in the Philip Yancey sections), yet the DVD is pitched at those who have read little or none of the Old Testament. This limits the people who might find this useful, I would think. All of the above is a shame, really, because underneath all the guff Philip Yancey actually has some interesting things to say about the Old Testament as a whole, and about the specific sections he looks at. There are better DVDs available to open up the Old Testament in an accessible way: the Faith Lessons video series by Ray Vander Laan also has aggravating production but with enough solid content to make up for it. Or for DVDs that open up the Bible to non-religious small groups you can't beat Rob Bell's Nooma series. And for religious, but British, small group DVD material, there is Jeff Lucas' Life Journeys series.
