When we sit down to coffee with friends as a weekday morning routine, there's no predicting what weighty subject will emerge for the airing of opinions. Could be anything suggested by the local paper, morning radio or last night's TV newscast. What you and I would like to contribute to the conversation usually occurs to us later in the day. That's why this book is called, "What I meant to say was . . ." George Epp ponders the weighty questions we all ponder, and writes down his take on them in 109 readable, short essays, written too late for coffee time.

The Old Testament is more than a religious history of the nation of Israel. It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith. It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is inspired revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God. As renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke writes in the preface of this book, the Old Testament’s every sentence is “fraught with theology, worthy of reflection.” This book is the result of decades of reflection informed by an extensive knowledge of the Hebrew language, the best of critical scholarship, a deep understanding of both the content and spirit of the Old Testament, and a thoroughly evangelical conviction. Taking a narrative, chronological approach to the text, Waltke employs rhetorical criticism to illuminate the theologies of the biblical narrators. Through careful study, he shows that the unifying theme of the Old Testament is the “breaking in of the kingdom of God.” This theme helps the reader better understand not only the Old Testament, but also the New Testament, the continuity of the entire Bible, and ultimately, God himself.
