The Spirit of the Old Testament by Sidney B. Sperry is a devotional and scholarly study designed to help readers better understand the message, structure, and spiritual power of the Old Testament. Sperry, one of the early Latter-day Saint scholars trained in biblical languages and higher criticism, combines academic insight with faith-centered interpretation. The book provides historical background, literary analysis, and doctrinal commentary on key Old Testament books and prophets, while emphasizing their testimony of God’s covenant relationship with Israel and their foreshadowing of Christ. Written for both students and general readers, the volume seeks to make the Old Testament more accessible, spiritually meaningful, and doctrinally coherent within a Latter-day Saint framework.
