Publisher's Synopsis
Christians often pay scant attention to the Jewishness of Jesus. Chris Wright's book sets to redress that balance, exploring the identity, values and teaching of Jesus in the light of the Old Testament. This is a book which helps us understand Jesus as man and God in a deeper and more profound way, as Chris Wright clearly shows how deeply his role as Messiah was fulfilled in the wisdom and revelation of the Old Testament, which was of course totally part of Jesus's culture and upbringing. This best-selling book was unanimously acclaimed when it was first published in 1992, with the Rev Dick France, then principal of Wycliffe Hall Oxford commenting, `This is a book any of us who teach the Bible would be proud to have written'. Leading speaker and writer Clive Calver endorsed the book: `an important contribution to contemporary evangelical understanding of who Jesus really is'.
