A Guide to Discovering Christ in the Old Testament
Even if they don't say it openly, many Christians fear the Old Testament. They find it difficult to understand and don't know where to start. This first part of the Bible often seems old-fashioned to them, and it is not easy to detect its relevance for daily life in a modern world. Reading it sometimes also leaves a feeling of embarrassment. How can we understand the barbaric events that regularly arise throughout the pages?

With great expertise and contagious passion, the author shows how we must read and study the Old Testament by faith, how the key to unlocking its full power lies in Christ, this Christ so present throughout the Old Testament . Although the author is a distinguished scholar, he writes with clarity and simplicity, in a style accessible to the ordinary Christian.
Michael Barrett shows his reader how to identify the fundamental characteristics of Christ in order to discover this Messiah who manifests himself throughout the Old Testament.
He challenges that throughout his Word, God promises that he who seeks with passion will find the heart of Scripture. Therefore, beginning with Moses and continuing through Malachi, we want to be ready to discover Christ.
