Christology of the Old Testament: And a Commentary on the Messianic Predictions, Vol. 1

This volume offers a meticulous survey of the Old Testament passages that early Christians identified as pointing toward the Messiah. The author combs through the Pentateuch, the Psalms, and the prophetic books, drawing out patterns in language, covenant promises, and divine titles. By anchoring each discussion in the original Hebrew and Greek terms, the work reveals how the ancient texts were understood in their own setting before later Christian interpretation took shape.

Structured as a series of concise essays, the first part of the study examines foundational promises to the patriarchs, the “protevangelium” in Genesis, and the prophetic hints found in figures such as Balaam and Moses. The commentary balances rigorous textual analysis with a clear presentation, making it accessible to readers who are new to theological scholarship while still providing depth for seasoned scholars. Though this is only the opening volume, it sets a solid groundwork for a broader exploration of messianic expectation throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
