In every era of the church, but especially our own, God’s people need to know how to read God’s Word and apply it to every area of life. That begins with first knowing the whole counsel of God and how each part of Scripture contributes to the entirety of our triune God’s gracious and authoritative self-disclosure in Christ. In this volume, O. Palmer Robertson continues the tradition of Geerhardus Vos and his own magnificent contribution to biblical theology by carefully and powerfully unpacking the Bible’s covenantal story centered in Christ. The much-needed and often-neglected focus of this work is on the Gospels and how they disclose the person and work of Messiah Jesus in light of the entirety of Scripture. This work is born out of years of faithful teaching, preaching, and writing, and it is one of the most helpful books I have read on the Gospels. It is a must-read for those who want to know how the Gospels rightly fit in canon and, even more than this, desire to behold the glory of our triune God revealed in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At the moment when Jesus entered the realm of redemptive history, God's people and the hurting world needed no further promises or prophecies. The one thing they lacked was fulfillment-they needed the promised Messiah and his consummate kingdom to come.
Noted theologian O. Palmer Robertson's three-volume Christ of the Consummation explores progressive revelation across the redemptive history of the New Testament. The first volume, The Testimony of the Four Gospels, emphasizes the eyewitness character of the four men who attest to the supernatural in-breaking of the Christ. In the rich tapestry of the Gospels, we see Christ overcome the powers of Satan, gradually unveil his identity by words and works, call and commission disciples, die on the cross, be raised, and ascend to heaven. By each witnessing distinctive aspects of the coming of the King and the establishment of his kingdom, the gospel writers boldly describe a new phase in redemptive revelation.
