The contents of the Old Testament

This clip summarises the content of the Old Testament and describes the books found after the 'Torah' or first five 'law' books. The remaining books are divided into three sections - the history books, describing the history of the Israelites; the books of wisdom with their poems, sayings and songs; and, finally, the prophets who spoke out about God. The clip ends with a reference to the prediction, by Isaiah, of the coming of the Messiah.
