About This Book

A comprehensive theological study presents the Messiah's person and mission through close reading of ancient scripture and later revelations. It treats pre-mortal existence and foreordination, the necessity of a Redeemer, and the Redeemer's divine role in creation and atonement. Narrative chapters trace birth, early life, public ministry, miracles, parables, major teachings such as the Sermon on the Mount, the calling of apostles, and the events of passion, death, and resurrection. The work interprets prophetic fulfillment and sacrificial typology, discusses post-resurrection manifestations and continuing revelation, and considers promises about the Second Coming. Doctrinal exposition is supported by historical context and systematic cross-referencing of canonical and modern texts.
