“Jesus is There: Discovering Jesus at Work in the Old Testament” by Dr. Carl B. Dodrill is now available for purchase
“Christians regularly believe that even though he was divine, the second person of the Trinity took on human flesh, was born as a baby like the rest of us, grew up, and became a man. As the supreme mediator between God and humanity, he then died, paying for our sins. This doctrine of the Incarnation is the cornerstone of our faith and of our salvation.”
– an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “Jesus is There: Discovering Jesus at Work in the Old Testament” by Dr. Carl B. Dodrill. This masterpiece explores the topic of “is it possible that Jesus has been actively involved in interacting with and caring for people since they were created and placed in the Garden of Eden?” The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
Dr. Carl Dodrill graduated from Westmont College with a B.A. in psychology in 1965 and from Purdue University with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1977. After aching at Westmont and becoming Chair of the Psychology Department, he spent more than 30 years on the faculty of the University of Washington, where he is now Professor Emeritus. He has taught the Bible for more than 40 years to college students and adults, frequently with an emphasis on Old Testament studies.
Where was Jesus, and what was he doing during the many centuries of Old Testament history? If Jesus only had personal contact with people after his birth in Bethlehem, where was he for the hundreds of years that the Jewish people lived? Suffered and struggled, and were they in need of direction and support? If he really cares for people, is it rational to believe that during that time he was not engaged at all in human history?
Using a fresh and little-explored empirically-based approach and resources including the Septuagint, three keys are found which in the New Testament reliably distinguish the person and work of Christ from that of God the Father. Guidelines for the use of the keys are established, and these guidelines are then applied to 25 selected passages in the Old Testament where the divine is definitely at work.
When this is done, the results clearly show that Jesus is There, at work in the Old Testament, and doing far more with people than most of us ever thought. You are invited to examine these in-depth studies with the prospect that you may arrive at a truly broadened understanding of Jesus Christ.
