A Warning for Our Times

This final volume of Beryl Lavender's commentary on the Old Testament is about the Books of the Prophets, from Isaiah to Malachi. She shows how alarmingly like our own times were the times of Ancient Israel when people refused to heed the warnings of the prophets, rejected God, demanded their rights, embraced moral relativism, indulged in all manner of sex, blamed others for their problems, and marched determinedly into disaster. But she shows too how the prophets predicted the coming of the Messiah who would save from ultimate disaster all those who turned to him. South African born Beryl Lavender, former journalist and teacher of English and Divinity, lives in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom. This is the final volume of her four-part commentary on the Old Testament. The first three were 'The Story of the Torah, ' 'The Broken Contract' and 'Problems, Praises and Proverbs.' She plans to visit Israel in November 2023 as a prelude to a commentary on The New Testament.
