This book is a collection of sermons on the Old Testament preached by the author at home and abroad, in churches and in seminary chapels, intended mainly for a lay audience. One sermon was preached at the historic Civil War Lutheran church in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Represented are texts from the Primary History (Genesis to 2 Kings), Psalms, Prophets, and the Wisdom Literature, with nine sermons on texts from the prophet Jeremiah. The sermons can also double as devotional reading.
