REVIEWS

"Chris Wright's accessible and inspirational three books on knowing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit from the pages of the Old Testament are now available in a single volume. Brilliant! Now pastors, teachers and laity alike will have a ready-at-hand resource to understand the Trinity from an Old Testament perspective."Lynn Cohick, provost and dean, Denver Seminary

"All serious Christians are agreed that we need to know the teaching of the Old Testament if we are to have good grasp of the message of the Bible. Chris Wright is a wonderful guide in this journey of discovery because he is a top-notch scholar who has a unique ability to share his knowledge of the Old Testament in ways that nonspecialists find interesting and understandable."Ajith Fernando, teaching director, Youth for Christ Sri Lanka

"Chris Wright is simply one of our best biblical scholars and expositors. He combines rigorous scholarship with a wonderful way of enabling us to hear God's address today through Scripture. A pastoral, missional heart breathes through his work, and I am delighted to see these three books by him gathered into one volume. As the titles indicate, Chris calls us to read Scripture so as to know God as he is revealed in the whole of Scripture, and not least the Old Testament, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to be drawn into deep fellowship with him. This is an invaluable trilogy that will be of great blessing to God's people."Craig Bartholomew, director, Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics, Tyndale House

"Chris Wright brings together a scholar's wisdom and a missionary's passion in his life and these twin gifts are written large on every page. My thinking and practice as a Christian have been indelibly shaped by Chris's writings and so I am very excited to see his important works brought together in this new volume."Krish Kandiah, founding director, Home for Good, author, God Is Stranger

"Many of us think the most enduring and authoritative approach to theology is to do biblical theology—that is, to let the Bible speak in its context and in its developing narrative and very few have done this more insightfully and faithfully than Chris Wright. Knowing God Through the Old Testament brings together the best of Chris Wright on the Father, the Son, and the Spirit and is eminently accessible for illustrating how to do biblical theology."Scot McKnight, Julius R.Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
