Finding Jesus in the Old Testament

by David Limbaugh

Overview

A New York Times Bestseller!

In Finding Jesus in the Old Testament, David Limbaugh unlocks the mysteries of the Old Testament and reveals hints of Jesus Christ's arrival through all thirty-nine Old Testament books.

The key to the secrets of the Old Testament, Limbaugh argues, is the crucial New Testament encounter between the risen Jesus and two travelers on the road to Emmaus. With that key, and with Limbaugh as a deft guide, readers of Finding Jesus in the Old Testament will come to a startling new understanding of the Old Testament as a clear and powerful heralding of Jesus Christ's arrival. Limbaugh takes readers on a revealing journey from Genesis through Malachi, demonstrating that a consistent message courses through every one of the Old Testament's thirty-nine books: the power, wonder, and everlasting love of Jesus Christ.

Editorial Reviews

"David has written The Emmaus Code not only as an accomplished author, commentator, and attorney, but with vitality that conveys his love for the Lord and His inspired Word. Well-studied, he brings to light that Christ is not hidden in the early books of the Bible but is seen as the bearer of God's loving and redemptive plan of salvation from the beginning of time itself.... Don't miss following the road map found in The Emmaus Code."
—Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

"Wow, what a book! My good friend David Limbaugh has outdone himself with The Emmaus Code. If you've ever been intimidated by the Old Testament, if you've ever wondered what ties the Old Testament and the New Testament together, then this is the book for you. It's the best Christian layman's guide to the Old Testament I've ever read. Fascinating—and highly recommended!"
—Sean Hannity, host of The Sean Hannity Show and Fox News Channel's Hannity

"In his exciting new book The Emmaus Code, David Limbaugh takes the encounter with the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus to show how the Old Testament affirms the truth claims of the New. It's a masterful performance, and, to coin a phrase, evidence that demands a verdict."
—Josh D. McDowell, author and speaker

"David Limbaugh uses an ingenious approach to helping people understand God's Word in The Emmaus Code. The title refers to the resurrected Jesus appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus and explaining to them how the entire Old Testament focuses on Him and His redemptive ministry. Anyone wanting to better understand Holy Scripture will greatly benefit from reading The Emmaus Code, regardless of their previous level of understanding, beginning or advanced. This is truly a Christ-honoring book."
—Dr. Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary

"If you've ever struggled to understand the unifying theme of the Old Testament and its relevance to your life today, The Emmaus Code will enlighten you. It's like seeing the box top to a jigsaw puzzle. David Limbaugh has written another gem filled with ah-ha moments that will leave you marveling at the Savior woven through every page of the Bible!"
—Frank Turek, founder and president of CrossExamined.org
