Types of Christ in the Old Testament: A Conservative Approach to Old Testament Typology

The Old Testament is a mysterious and difficult portion of the Bible for many readers, even serious ones, and this perceived obscurity can sometimes lead readers to ignore the Old Testament in their personal study. In this second edition of Types of Christ in the Old Testament, Kenneth E. Trent, DD and pastor of Second Baptist Church of Channelview, Texas, restores to readers an understanding of some of the richest blessings found in the Word of God. Types of Christ in the Old Testament exalts the Lord Jesus Christ by identifying the Person behind the images and symbols. Trent discusses the more prominent symbols of Christ, including objects, places, and people, and he presents them so as to provide the basis for a year of study in a small group setting. Each chapter, organized in outline form, can also be used as a stand-alone study or as part of a Bible study series. Glimpsing the pre-incarnate Christ through reflection and study of the Old Testament will do much to delight the soul. Even so, we must have the illuminating power of Christ if we are to fully and properly understand the Scriptures. There is great wealth and untold riches to be found in the Scriptures if we permit the Holy Spirit to "guide us into all truth."
