The book was written in light of the many challenges I faced as a student in seminary. I found it quite difficult to find books on “simple” Christology. Not only were the numbers of available Christological books few, but when I did find books they represented very little Christology and referenced much theology and unnecessary reading. What I needed was a resource with reference to help me out and not a scholarly work that embedded denominational values. I needed a book that condensed many different Christological viewpoints into an easy to read resource that was practical, applicable, and with cross reference information. That is why I penned this book. The book is an assimilation of my Christological studies with secondary resources. Therefore, the book is short, rich in information, and short in explanation (intentionally done as a reference resource). The book is intended to stimulate the undergraduate and graduate student. The book has been very useful for some of my friends regarding Bible study and Sunday morning sermons. The resource is well displayed in the table of contents and easy to understand. The book gives examples of Christological studies throughout the Pentateuch. The book is by no means an exhaustive resource but one that lifts the fingerprints of Christ’s presence in the OT while still allowing for the reader to make their own Christological discoveries.

Join author and minister David Murray as he introduces you to Jesus through the lens of the Old Testament. When you think of a son trudging uphill, carrying wood for his own sacrifice because his father has decided to give him up to death, what biblical event does this bring to mind? Is it Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, or is it Christ's passion in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? The kinship between these two stories is deeper than mere coincidence, and the similarities don't end there. In fact, Murray argues that Christ isn't just present in the story of Abraham and Isaac--he's present on every page of the Old Testament. In Jesus on Every Page, Dr. Murray guides the reader down his own Road to Emmaus, describing how the Scriptures were opened to him, revealing Jesus from Genesis 1 all the way through Revelation 22. Dr. Murray shares his ten simple ways to seek and find Christ in the Old Testament, diving deep into: Christ's planet--discovering Jesus in the story of Creation Christ's people--discovering Jesus in the characters of the Old Testament Christ's promises--discovering Jesus in the covenants of the Old Testament Recognizing Jesus in the full breadth of scripture is important for every Christian. In this step-by-step guide to discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Dr. Murray provides a framework that will help you start practicing this wonderful way of enjoying Jesus throughout the Bible. Whether you are preaching Jesus through Old Testament readings or just beginning to discover the reality of Christ in the Old Testament, Jesus on Every Page is an accessible guide to getting to know the Old Testament for what it truly is: full of Jesus.

Did Moses write about Jesus? Kevin Chen challenges the common view of the Pentateuch as focused primarily on the Mosaic Law, arguing instead that it sets forth a coherent, sweeping vision of the Messiah as the center of its theological message. Building on the work of John Sailhamer, Chen provides a fascinating study and an exegetical basis for a Christ-centered biblical theology.

For the past century, scholars have debated when and how a divine Christology emerged. This book considers the earliest evidence we have, the letters of Paul. David Capes, a veteran teacher and highly regarded scholar, examines Paul's letters to show how the apostle constructed his unique portrait of Jesus as divine through a rereading of Israel's Scriptures. This new addition to the Acadia Studies in Bible and Theology series is ideal for use in courses on Paul, Christology, biblical theology, and intertextuality.

You may have sat through countless sermons, numerous Sunday School classes, and Bible Studies. You know Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:14), so you may ask, why look for Jesus in the first five books of the Old Testament?To answer the question of why look for Jesus in the Pentateuch, let us look at something Jesus said to a couple of His disciples, after He arose from the grave. We find this passage in Luke 24:27, "Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." And we find these words of Jesus, "For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me." (John 4:46)Notice that Jesus explained himself "from all the Scripture." As believers in Christ Jesus we may spend a substantial amount of time studying New Testament theology. In our study of God, for that is what the word "theology" means, we dig deeply into the New Testament, the covenant which was made by the blood of Jesus, as documented in Mark 14:24, "And he [Jesus] said to them, 'This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many...'"Mistakenly, in our study of theology, we often study the LORD of the Old Testament without much regard for the truth that Christ Jesus, the Son of God (John 20:30-31), the one who Created all things (Colossians 1:15-18); this Jesus, as the Word of God (John 1:1), is visible and easily found throughout the Old Testament (Romans 1:20).This booklet is intended to briefly, but unequivocally, show Jesus in two or three places in each of the books that make up the Pentateuch; the first five books of the Bible. This booklet is not intended to be comprehensive but, rather, it is intended to provide some guidance for further study of Jesus in the Old Testament.

The Oxford Handbook of Christology brings together 40 authoritative essays considering the theological study of the nature and role of Jesus Christ. This collection offers dynamic perspectives within the study of Christology and provides rigorous discussion of inter-confessional theology, which would not have been possible even 60 years ago. The first of the seven parts considers Jesus Christ in the Bible. Rather than focusing solely on the New Testament, this section begins with discussion of the modes of God's self-communication to us and suggests that Christ's most original incarnation is in the language of the Hebrew Bible. The second section considers Patristics Christology. These essays explore the formation of the doctrines of the person of Christ and the atonement between the First Council of Nicaea in 325 and the eve of the Second Council of Nicaea. The next section looks at Mediaeval theology and tackles the development of the understanding of who Christ was and of his atoning work. The section on 'Reformation and Christology' traces the path of the Reformation from Luther to Bultmann. The fifth section tackles the new developments in thinking about Christ which have emerged in the modern and the postmodern eras, and the sixth section explains how beliefs about Jesus have affected music, poetry, and the arts. The final part concludes by locating Christology within systematic theology, asking how it relates to Christian belief as a whole. This comprehensive volume provides an invaluable resource and reference for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the study of Christology.
