Book Overview
Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed: Seeing Jesus in the Narratives of 30 Biblical Women (draft title)
The words of Old Testament Scripture are—not the mere tales of the godly and godless but—a pre-announcement of Christ’s work in salvation. According to Jesus, the Old Testament was written to point to him (Luke. 24:27). But does this include the narratives of Old Testament women as well? How do the stories of these women fit into the redemptive drama that culminates in Christ? Do women like Leah, Rahab, and Jael also point us to Jesus? This book shouts a resounding YES!
Our goal in Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed is to trace the gospel storyline through the narratives of women. From Eve at creation and the Fall, to the matriarchs of Genesis, to women at the Exodus, the time of the judges, the kings, the Exile, to the birth of Christ, we follow Old Testament history—through the stories of thirty women—as it unfolds to show us Jesus, the promised Seed of the Woman (Genesis 3:1).
The Bible is one book. Its forty different authors are inspired by one divine author. It was written on one subject: God’s redemption of sinners through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Women are part of that grand story. So, we study their narratives—not just as inspirations for faithful living but—to see Jesus. We want to recognize our Christ at the center of the big story that governs all human history—and our hope for today (Luke. 24:32).
Please look out for Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed: Seeing Jesus in the Narratives of 30 Biblical Women in 2022!
