The Beginning and End of Wisdom by Douglas Sean O'Donnell

There has been a resurgence of identifying Jesus in the Old Testament. There has been a growing number of pastor who choose to preach the Old Testament in order to point Jesus to people. In his book, The Beginning and End of Wisdom, Douglas Sean O'Donnell uses the first and last chapters of Proverbs, Ecclesiates, and Job as a example of how pastor can use the Old Testament to preach Christ using scriptures from the Old Testament.

These three books of the Old Testament are from a section in the Bible we call, Wisdom Literature, which contains, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiates, and Song of Solomon. The Wisdom Literature has been known as the most preached section of the Old Testament. This provides the perfect example for O'Donnell to use to give pastors some idea of how to preach Christ from the Old Testament.

The last chapter of the book deals with how to use the Wisdom Literture to preach Christ. There were even examples of verses from the Wisdom Literature that were taught in a similar fashion in the New Testament.

This book was a great read and all pastors should read this book. Pastors should use this book as a reference to help get an idea of preaching Christ through the Old Testament.
