You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should castoff the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes readers 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. The story of Israel turns out to be our story too, and you'll discover why Sinai still matters as you follow Jesus today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBearing God's Name\u003c\/i\u003e offers: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn opportunity for readers to revisit the story of Israel as they trudge through the wilderness from a grueling past to apromising future, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn appendix with resources from The Bible Project, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion questions for individual reflection or group conversation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher J.
