The Cross in the Old Testament: The Cross of Job; The Cross of the Servant and the Cross of Jeremiah

""The Cross In The Old Testament"" by H. Wheeler Robinson is a theological exploration of the concept of the cross in the Hebrew Bible. The book focuses on three key figures in the Old Testament: Job, the Servant, and Jeremiah. Robinson argues that these figures prefigure the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and provide important theological insights into the meaning of the cross. The first section of the book examines the cross of Job. Robinson argues that Job's suffering and eventual restoration foreshadow the redemptive power of the cross. The second section focuses on the Servant, a figure from the book of Isaiah who is described as a sacrificial lamb. Robinson shows how the Servant's suffering and death anticipate the crucifixion of Jesus. Finally, the book explores the cross of Jeremiah, arguing that Jeremiah's prophetic voice and willingness to suffer for the sake of the people prefigure the cross.Throughout the book, Robinson emphasizes the importance of understanding the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. He argues that the cross is a central theme of the entire Bible and that the Old Testament provides important context for understanding the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. ""The Cross In The Old Testament"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between the Hebrew Bible and the Christian faith.Brought Together In One Volume.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
