Is Jesus in the Old Testament? by Iain M. Duduid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Solid treatment by Westminster's newest professor.
After some basics, like avoiding allegory and moralism, he gives three classes of OT Scripture: history, prophetic and wisdom literature. This left out the law, noticeably!
The strength of the booklet is the last third or so: how Jesus fulfills the OT. He is historian, prophet and sage. He is the last Adam, and the new Israel who lives the story Israel should have lived but didn't. That last was my favorite two pages (32-33). Excellent.
