Annotation

The Ancient Faith: ONE

"The Ancient Faith is a trilogy based on the revelation of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. ... Part One, The Beginning, is taken from the first major section of the Hebrew Bible, the Pentateuch or Books of Moses. Side One explores a major theme from each book. Side Two looks at the lives of the patriarchs. These recordings are really nothing more than an invitation to open the Old Testament, to look for, and find Jesus there waiting patiently, as ever, to reveal Himself to us." from the back of the CD case
