Description:

What does the Old Testament have to do with Jesus Christ? Everything.

The first five books of the Old Testament contain the Law of Moses. And even though they were written centuries before the birth of Jesus, they are intricately involved with Him.

Dr. Vern Poythress dramatically explores Genesis through Deuteronomy, demonstrating how the sacrifices and traditions of the Hebrews foreshadow the relationship of Christ to His people. Poythress convincingly explains that the punishments and penalties of the Law prefigure the destruction of sin and guilt through Christ.

With remarkable clarity, Dr. Poythress opens the door to understanding the Law of Moses and its relationship to the New Testament. And Poythress reveals that Christ Himself is the key that unlocks the riches of the Old Testament.

Dr. Poythress is professor of New Testament Interpretation at Westminster Theological Seminary and has written four other books. He lives with his wife, Diane, and their two sons in Pennsylvania.
