Bearing God's Name

Why Sinai Still Matters

By: Carmen Joy Imes, Christpher J.H. Wright - foreword

Narrated by: Ann Richardson

Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament - especially the Old Testament law - has to do with your Christian life?

You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees.

In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes listeners back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about "taking the Lord's name in vain." Instead, Imes says that this command is about "bearing God's name," a theme that continues throughout the rest of Scripture. Listeners will revisit the story of Israel as they trudge through the wilderness from a grueling past to a promising future. The story of Israel turns out to be our story too, and you'll discover why Sinai still matters as you follow Jesus today.

Great Audiobook!

This audiobook is very interesting I had heard about this book by listening to the Naked Bible Podcast were the author of the book was interviewed. It an excellent ready for anyone who enjoys digging a little deeper into the Word of God. Best of all its written in a way that makes it easy to understand. As to the recording they did a great job and the narrator who read this book did an excellent job! To sum it all up I would definitely recommend this audiobook!

A very thorough look at the name of God

this book will challenge the reader to accept the full meaning of bearing the name of God

A good story.

Listened twice. It was worth it both times. I have already recommended it several times.

Well written and documented. Logical thesis.

Carmen did a great job of explaining what it means to bear God’s name and why knowing the Old Testament is so important. Well done.

a lot of information to digest.

the stance the church has on the old Testament and God's laws are changing. time to get out in front of this and change your ways.
