Knowing God Through the Old Testament

Viac o knihe

This compilation merges three beloved works by Christopher J. H. Wright: Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament, and Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament. The first volume delves into the multifaceted images of God found in the Old Testament, portraying Him as both tender and terrifying, intimately personal yet challenging to nations. This is the Father that Jesus knew, offering love, care, and forgiveness. The second volume reveals Jesus’ self-understanding as both Son of Man and Son of God, deeply rooted in Hebrew Scriptures. As Jesus fulfills Israel’s mission, a deeper understanding of the Old Testament brings readers closer to His heart. The third volume traces the Holy Spirit throughout the Old Testament, highlighting His presence in the lives of prophets, judges, and kings, as well as the promise of new creation. Together, these works guide readers to recognize the empowering role of the Holy Spirit in sustaining and renewing the earth. This comprehensive exploration strengthens personal relationships with the triune God, encouraging deep engagement with His Word, particularly through the often-overlooked voices of the Old Testament. It invites readers on a journey of biblical discovery, enhancing their understanding of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
