Exploring the Word: The Law Take an illustrated tour of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy with more than 30 articles and numerous illustrations. Read about Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Miriam — and how they are relevant to Christians today.

Joseph: "God intended it for good" Joseph’s life story (Genesis 37–50) is one of the most poignant and compelling in the Bible. It has all the elements of drama, ranging from the deepest sorrow to the greatest exultation. It is a story of faith and hope during years of trouble, but it is also a story of success and joy.

Abraham is one of the outstanding individuals of the Old Testament. God spoke to him personally, visited him in his home and even considered him a friend. Abraham loved God, obeyed him, and was even willing to sacrifice his son for him. Abraham is a biblical superhero, deserving a place in the Old Testament Hall of Fame. But are his experiences something you can relate to? See The faith of Abraham.
