Back Cover Description:
"Without some knowledge of the Old Testament, no person intelligently can make that part of Peter's confession that says "I believe that Jesus is the Christ." Christ means Messiah, the Promised One anticipated through the centuries by pre-Christian believers. How can a person claim to believe that Jesus of Nazareth is that long-awaited One if he has no knowledge of Messiah's identifying characteristics as sketched by Israelite prophets? For those who have discovered the context of hope -a context that transcends literary and chronological considerations - the Old Testament is fragrant with the aroma of Christ At least seventy-three passages speak directly of our Lord; many more speak of him and his kingdom in the picture language of shadow and type."
Chapter Headings Include:
1- Touring the Old Testament Library
2- Wonder of the Word
3- All Scripture is Inspired of God
4- Old Testament as Program
5- Old Testament as Proclamation
