About this title

Synopsis

Without making the Old Testament a pacifist book, Enz shows how it prepares the way for the peaceful Messiahship of Jesus in almost every one of its major themes.... The book is simple and speaks immediately to every Christian, and yet the scholar in the field will recognize a great breadth of learning and a profound scholarly integrity behind almost every apparently simple statement.""
