An important contribution to contemporary evangelical understanding of who Jesus truly is.
"For many Christians, the Old Testament is a closed book. Yet, the roots of Christian faith, through the person of Jesus – and his background, culture, and teachings – lie in Judaism. Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament challenges and inspires readers, in an exciting way, to attempt to rebalance their understanding of the entire Bible. Effortlessly, Chris Wright convincingly and appealingly leads the reader to discover the scope of “biblical theology.” And he does so with an unusual combination of the passion and emotion of a man who loves the Bible and lives according to it, with the calm common sense of a responsible interpreter who truly connects with the text. This is a book that any of us who teach about the Bible would be proud to have written." Rev. Dr. Richard France, Principal, Wycliffe Hall
