Jesus the Dayspring

Viac o knihe

The book explores the unique title of 'dayspring' attributed to Jesus in Luke's gospel, contrasting it with first-century messianic expectations that seldom linked the Messiah to the sunrise or the east. It delves into the prophetic song of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, to uncover the origins and significance of this title. Through examining historical and theological contexts, the work reveals how this imagery enriches the understanding of Jesus' role and identity within early Christian thought.
