Description



About the Book



If we read every sentence of the Bible through the lens of Jesus Christ, we come to see God in all the glory we earth-bound and time-bound creatures can stand ... Trust Jesus and let him show you how to read the record of God's self-revelation. READ EVERYTHING BEFORE JESUS AND EVERYTHING AFTER HIM THROUGH THE JESUS LENS.



Book Synopsis



The Bible is a record of and witness to divine-human encounter and relationship--period! If we read the Bible as a technical treatise in which every word stands on equal footing, we distort the meaning of scripture. If, on the other hand, we read every sentence of the Bible through the lens of Jesus Christ, we come to see God in all the glory we earth-bound and time-bound creatures can stand ... Trust Jesus and let him show you how to read the record of God's self-revelation. READ EVERYTHING BEFORE JESUS AND EVERYTHING AFTER HIM THROUGH THE JESUS LENS.



Review Quotes




"In The Jesus Lens, Leroy Spinks explains the varying images of God and depictions of acceptable morality in the Old Testament as progressive steps in divine revelation that culminate in the good news of Jesus, who should be understood as the key to interpreting the scriptures that come before. This book will be especially enlightening to readers who haven't previously been exposed to the contributions of critical scholarship to our understanding of the Hebrew Bible."
--Dr. Tony W. Cartledge, Nurturing Faith Bible Studies writer and Professor of Old Testament at Campbell University Divinity School

"The Jesus Lens is full of insights that give meaning to the texts, introducing lay readers to the work of biblical scholars. Spinks' attention to the purposes and artistry of the human writers of scripture complement his confidence that God spoke through those human writers and continues to speak through the texts to readers today."
--Dr. Dalen C. Jackson, Academic Dean and Professor of Biblical Studies at Baptist Seminary of Kentucky
