The master theme of the Bible -- Christ as fulfillment: the themes of the king and kingdom -- Christ as climax: the themes of covenant, grace and law -- Christ as revelation: the theme of the image of God -- Christ as revelation: the theme of the word of God -- Christ our life: the theme of sin -- Christ our life: the theme of death -- Christ our hope: the themes of creation and consummation.
Summary: The Bible is one book, not two separate testaments; so the Old Testament is essential for understanding the New. In this stimulating book on the Old Testament background to Christ, Alec Motyer shows how Jesus is the king expected, who brings in the kingdom looked for in the Old Testament; is both the image and the Word of God; conquers sin and death, and brings the disordered creation to its perfect consummation. To neglect the Old Testament, the author maintains, is to have an impoverished view of the glory of Christ. - Back cover. Back Cover
