OPINION ABOUT OLD TESTAMENT (1st of several)

I grant you that this is not a topic the non-follower of Jesus could care anything about, since the authority of the entire Bible is rejected. To the believer however, this is germane. 

It will be a tragedy if Christians dismiss the Old Testament.  

The easy conclusion is that the Old Testament, suffused in Mosaic Law was written for a Jewish population. It's irrelevant to us today. That's faulty thinking.

DEHISTORIZING THE OLD TESTAMENT

Don’t bother reading this unless you have the time and the interest. The theme is, ‘Why would you Ignore the Old Testament?’ Some Christians disparage the Old Testament.

Christians have generally regarded the Old Testament as God’s Word and have often found pleasure in Proverbs and spiritual inspiration in Psalms. Christian preachers worthy of the calling have confirmed their proficiencies by drawing profound applications from Old Testament historical narratives.

Many Christians today are dismissing the Old Testament because they find parts of it morally offensive or quite bluntly, irrelevant.
