"In biblical times God visibly manifested himself to people in many different ways, and divinely inspired authors reflected on his appearances throughout Scripture. However, modern Christian experience is so different that we often wonder what meaning the biblical appearances or manifestations of God have for us today. Poythress explores this topic within its ancient historical context and explains how Christ fulfills their meaning in himself and in the lives of his followers. Poythress’s discussions are rooted in sound biblical scholarship but clearly express how this facet of Scripture ought to enhance every Christian’s daily service to God." —Richard L.
