"In his typically clear and concise style, Wright offers us a helpful synthesis of the Old Testament. As always, he is textual and theological. The foundational passages chosen for The Old Testament in Seven Sentences, indeed, set the agenda for the drama of Scripture as it unfolds across the canon. This slim volume is yet another tool that Wright has produced to demonstrate the relevancy of the Old Testament. He is a gift to the church."

"Wright's The Old Testament in Seven Sentences is a tour de force, capturing the heart of the Old Testament, its epic drama, and God's passion for his people with clarity and depth. Wright takes readers on a journey through the mountains and valleys of the Old Testament, sharing vistas of its beauty, its pain, and its picture of God's continuing plan of redemption and mission for God's people, culminating in Jesus Christ and the new creation of all things."

"The Old Testament in Seven Sentences sounds like an impossible task, but Chris Wright makes it work beautifully, capturing the central features of the Old Testament in a way that is both rich and accessible. I'm not surprised really--Wright is one of our best, most mature thinkers about the Bible today. His book gives readers an essential and impressive orientation to the life-giving message of the Old Testament. I recommend it highly."
