What was Jesus doing at the time, over the many decades of Old Testament history? If Jesus only had close contact with people after His birth in Bethlehem, where was He throughout the hundreds of years that the Jewish people lived? suffered, struggled, and needed guidance and support? Is it reasonable to suppose that if He truly cares about humanity, He was not interested in human history at the time?
Using a fresh and little-explored empirically-based approach and resources, including the Septuagint, three keys are found in the New Testament that reliably distinguish the person and work of Christ from those 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: Discovering Jesus 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.
