Finding Meaning in the Pentateuch
I'm getting this book as a late Christmas present, and it's interviews like this one in Christianity Today that persuaded me this was a very good idea.
I wrote my book in part to show my friend and others like him that serious scholarship leads one to find Christ in the Old Testament because he is really there. The author of the Pentateuch put him there when he wrote the book. I've found that if you show someone that Christ is really there in the Pentateuch and the Old Testament, they will come back to see more--not merely because they have come to revere the Pentateuch as a foundational book, but more importantly because they want to see more of Jesus.
