4/6/2023 0 Comments Christ centered exposition![]() Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk by Eric Redmond, Bill Curtis, and Ken Fentress (2016).This module contains the following 25 volumes: Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. I encourage you to read this book.For even more information about this series, see this release announcement.Įdited by David Platt, Daniel L. ![]() Davis eventually gets around to these ideas, but his emphasis throughout the commentary on predictions and proofs were to me a bit distracting from some more important themes in the text.Įven with this criticism I consider Andy Davis to have done us a great service in showing us how Christ is in view in every page and chapter of the book of Isaiah. Today we can contrast the Messiah's rule with the rule of whatever earthly government we happen to live under. ![]() The nature of the Messiah's rule must be understood in contrast with the rule of Judah's captor Babylon. This passage was offered initially to Israel and ultimately to us to give God's people comfort and hope in the beneficent and eternal rule of the Messiah. But I disagree that this is the main idea of Isaiah 9:1-7. It occasionally came across as if God made predictive prophesies in order to demonstrate that he could make predictions that came true? Consequently, Davis sometimes misidentifies the main idea of a passage.įor example the chapter on Isaiah 9:1-7 (“Unto us a child is born …”) Davis posits that the main idea is “The deity and humanity of Jesus Christ are clearly predicted.” Now I agree with his statement. In my opinion Davis seems to overreact to the “Second Isaiah” scholars (p.4) with his emphasis on predicted and fulfilled prophesy that can distract from greater themes in Isaiah. While I do commend this book to those who have yet to read it, I will offer this criticism. The emphasis on teaching Christ throughout all Scripture, especially through the Old Testament, is long overdue and I commend Davis and the Editors for making it happen. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Exalting Jesus series and have benefited from Andy Davis' commentary on Isaiah in particular.
