We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, “the Scriptures point to me!” In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol of a temple where people can meet with God; the prophecy of a servant who will suffer; the person of a king who will rule with righteousness—and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Cross and Resurrection.

Of all the books of the New Testament, Revelation is one of the most difficult to interpret and understand. At first reading the startling images of beasts, dragons, and false prophets, plus many numbers great and small, seem to defy meaning and understanding. This all seems contradictory to the book's opening words: "The revelation of Jesus Christ." The key to understanding the Bible's last book is to establish a set of interpretive keys to unlock the symbols, especially all the numbers found in so many of the chapters. This volume is based on such a set of keys.The commentary begins by revealing the structure of the book using a device common in much Jewish writing. At the heart of this structure Jesus is revealed ensuring the fulfillment of the book's opening sentence.Revelation, is the twin of a corresponding volume, Daniel, which interprets the biblical text utilizing the same interpretive keys. The study of the Bible's last book reveals a strong connection with the Old Testament volume by the prophet Daniel that bears his name. In fact John borrows from Daniel on scores of occasions and includes some of its key symbols. Thus our understanding of both books is enhanced by studying them together.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

'This volume is not intended to be a thorough exposition of the book of Genesis ... My only purpose is to set forth, as simply and clearly as I am able, the grace and glory of God in Christ in the opening pages of Holy Scripture.' So states Don Fortner in the preface to this volume - and this is precisely what he does. By commenting on the principal characters to whom God revealed himself in the book of Genesis and the major events of their lives, the author brings to light the presence of Christ and the evidence of God's great plan of redemption in these opening chapters of the bible. But he does not leave it there: concerned to impart to the reader a greater appreciation of Christ, the Saviour of sinners, the author intersperses teaching and application, with the intention of encouraging believers to live lives of worship and committed service to Christ. 1.

The book of Revelation has been received over the past several centuries with both fascination and aversion, but one thing is certain: it has profoundly shaped Christian history and culture. And the way it has shaped history and culture has been determined, in large part, by how the book has been variously—and sometimes irresponsibly—interpreted. David A. deSilva addresses the interpretation and reception-history of Revelation in this compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Revelation, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception. Discovering Revelation draws on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of interpreting the text. DeSilva pays special attention to defining features of Revelation, such as its use of sequences of seven as a major structuring device, its nonlinear plotline, and its deployment of contrast and parody. As deSilva writes, “A text as rich and multidimensional as Revelation calls for its readers to adopt a rich and multidimensional approach that draws upon a variety of interpretative angles and skills.”.
