Theophany: Close Encounters with the Son of God
Overview
Many Christians think of the Old Testament as a document of historic interest, but with little to help them in their spiritual walk. Such people will discover from this volume that the Lord Jesus Christ is very clearly displayed in the book of Genesis as he appears to a number of the patriarchs. Jonathan Stephen’s easy-to-read style and up-to-date application of the truth of God will bring enrichment to many people. This book will not only help those believers who see little value in the Old Testament, but it will also be a great strength to those who have known and valued the Word of God for many years and who seek to live their lives in the light of it.
Top Highlights
“But the gospel reveals the solution. There is a ‘mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus’ (1 Timothy 2:5). If God can appear to man at all, it must therefore be in the Person of the Son. This is not simply a theological deduction. As we shall see, all the evidence of Scripture confirms that it is so.” (Page 13)
“God’s great plan of salvation is previewed in the Garden of Eden and the Son of God is already our great high priest” (Page 31)
“We were created to enjoy ‘face to face’ communion with our Maker and nothing less can ultimately satisfy us” (Page 9)
Praise for the Print Edition
This book is greatly enhanced because these chapters started life as sermons… The publishers are to be commended for making this warm teaching available to a much wider audience in the more easily accessible form of a book.
