This is an interesting book
that will be a good text to encourage people to spend more time in
the Old Testament. Christians have a tendency to spend more time
in the New at the expense of reading and studying the Old. Bob
Beasley has written a book that will draw readers to the Old
Testament not only for the history but to see how Christ is
revealed throughout it.
Beasley is a graduate of Westminster Theological
Seminary. a ruling elder in the PCA, and former member of the CEP
Committee. In the same clear manner as earlier works by this
author, he has given us 101 different portraits of Christ from
Genesis to Malachi. Being appreciative of earlier books, the late
Edmund P.
Clowney's The Unfolding Mystery and Dennis Johnson's
Him We Proclaim,
Beasley's book will help us grow in our appreciation for the Old
Testament as we see our Lord revealed there in prophesies, types,
foreshadowing, and mighty works, as well as His pre-incarnate
appearances.
Each portrait is only two pages. It could be used
as a personal or family devotional. It could be used in teen or
adult Bible studies by combining the portraits. Don't pass this by
