Awe in the Old Testament

Awe abounds in the Old Testament and as Jesus fulfills the Law, that heartbeat of God’s presence continues into the New Testament. Hear from Dr. Longman about what it was that drew him to God and the how that lead him to his wonderment of God in the Old Testament and a life of sharing that reverence with others.

Dr. Tremper Longman III (M.Div. Westminster Theological Seminary; M.Phil. and Ph.D. Yale University) recently retired after being the Distinguished Scholar of Biblical Studies at Westmont College. He has written over 30 books (and is still actively writing) including commentaries on Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Daniel, and Nahum. His most recent book (with the psychologist Dan Allender) is God Loves Sex: An Honest Conversation about Sexual Desire and Holiness. As a Hebrew scholar, he is one of the main translators of the popular New Living Translation of the Bible and has served as a consultant on other popular translations of the Bible such as the Message and the Common Bible. He also serves as a mentor in the “Science for Seminaries” initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Tremper and Alice have three sons (Tremper IV, Timothy, and Andrew) and two granddaughters (Gabrielle and Mia).
