“A priest is one who represents man before God. He goes in to God on behalf of man. He is the opposite of a prophet. A prophet comes out from God, to speak for God, to man. A priest comes out from man and goes to God, to speak for man to God, and to represent man.” (Page 90)
“‘Called’ doesn’t mean those who only hear; it means those who have heard and responded.” (Page 16)
“In other words, when the man went in and put his hand on the head of the little animal that was to be slain, he was designating this little animal to take his place. The man was confessing that he deserved to die.” (Pages 19–20)

J. Vernon McGee (1904–1988) was an ordained Presbyterian minister, theologian, and radio minister. He was born in Hillsboro, Texas in 1904. McGee was pastor of the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles from 1949–1970.
McGee earned his BD from Columbia Theological Seminary, and his ThM and ThD from Dallas Theological Seminary. After serving in Presbyterian congregations in Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas, he moved to southern California to serve as pastor of Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church. In 1949 he moved to Los Angeles and became pastor of the Church of the Open Door. He also served as chairman of the Bible department at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University) and lectured several times at Dallas Theological Seminary.
In 1967, McGee started his popular Thru the Bible radio series and soon it was broadcast on over 400 channels in North America. The radio broadcasts were transcribed, edited, and published in the Thru the Bible Commentary series. Other titles by McGee include David: A Man After God’s Own Heart, J.
