We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus?

In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

Christ is the central figure of Christianity. It follows that He is also the central figure of Christian Scripture. As such, all Scripture testifies of Him. This point is almost unanimously accepted among Evangelicals. The disagreements begin to appear when we discuss how Scripture testifies of Christ.

"Jesus in the Shadows" is asking one big question: When Luke tells us in Luke 24:27 that Jesus showed His disciples “the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures,” just how are we meant to take the word “all”? Was it intended to be figurative—just Jesus’ way of saying, “Hey, no worries, there are a few verses about Me in that book we all like so much, and when you figure them out, you can use them to write your own book and really get the word out”? Or did He mean something immeasurably more? What if some of the most well-known Bible stories (like David and Goliath, ...

In this book, author Bob Palumbo provides plenty of biblical evidence that Jesus Christ, as God’s Word, was both present and active from before the world was formed. It pleased the Father that His Son would ...

In the early books of the Old Testament, the mysterious "Angel of the Lord" repeatedly appears—visibly, audibly, even physically—to the Patriarchs, to Moses, to the Prophets. Who is this Angel? Exploring the biblical texts, the testimony of church history, and the insights of Systematic Theology, Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn argue that the answer is beyond doubt: the Angel of the Lord is a manifestation of God the Son.
