Seeing the Bible through the lens of Jesus Christ. This is not a biography of Jesus, the
authors call it a Theography. In this
book the authors seek to explain how the Old and New Testaments link together as
a unified story of Jesus, showing that Jesus is indeed, the fulfillment of the
Old Testament.
They use several references of Scripture in both old and new
to prove this. We begin with Christ
before time – the awesome revelation that time dwells in God (not the other way
around -and go right through Jesus’ life on earth, following our Scriptures to
the very end, when He returns as King.
The creation of the universe through Christ, His earthly life and
Ministry and to the coming of the end and the reconciliation of all things in
Christ.
I have to admit that I put off reading this book for as long
as I can. The 400+ pages were a little
daunting (even for a bookworm such as I) – the idea of big words and difficult
to understand theology was not something I looked forward to reading. However, once I started this book, the way in which the authors of this book
have brought the Bible to life, journeying around the pages of both the new and
old testament, seeing shadows and foretelling of Jesus throughout the Old
Testament and seeing confirmations of the Old Testament in the New Testament is
really such an awesome eye opening, beautifully engaging experience.
Well done to the authors for what is a remarkably researched
piece of writing. I am so glad I started
this book.
