Tracing the arc of Christ's redemption from Old Testament types and prophecy through New Testament reality.

"[Jesus] said to them, 'These are my words that I spoke to you

while I was still with you, that everything written about me

in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must

be fulfilled.' Then he opened their minds to understand the

Scriptures, and said to them, 'Thus it is written, that the

Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead.'"

Luke 24:44-46

From Adam's fall through Malachi's final word, through prophecies, types

and events, God promised a Redeemer. He is the Lord Jesus Christ, and

the Old Testament is about him. The New Testament is also about Jesus,

and it records how he fulfilled all that was promised of him. Truly it is said

that the Old Testament looks forward to Christ, the New Testament looks

backward to Christ-Christ is the center of the Bible.

Redeemer Promised, Redeemer Fulfilled traces the arc of Christ's redemption

from the Old Testament prefigures and prophecies through their

fulfillments in the New Testament gospels. The arc is wonderfully fitted

for the Lenten season, observed by Protestants as a time of reflection,

repentance and recommitment to the Savior and culminating in the

Easter celebration of his resurrection. For each day in the season there is

a Scripture reading, followed by a short lesson that is theologically based

toward the goal of devotional maturity. The book also serves as a primer on

seeing Jesus in the Old Testament, and it illuminates the infallibility of the

Bible-two topics profitable for study in any season. The book is intended

for both private and group use.
