| Summary |
"Christology of the Old Testament: And a Commentary on the Messianic Predictions" by E.W. Hengstenberg is a theological work written in the late 19th century. This academic text delves into the character of Christ in the Old Testament, focusing particularly on the messianic prophecies and their ramifications for biblical theology. The author aims to provide insights about the overarching themes of Christ's presence in the Old Testament and to explore how those themes unfold through various scriptural passages. The opening of this scholarly work begins with transcriptions and editorial notes related to the translation of the text, reflecting on the challenges of rendering original Hebrew and Greek terminology into English. It further includes prefatory remarks by the translator and author that establish the significance and expected revisions of this new edition. Hengstenberg's reflections suggest a substantial interest in clarifying and expanding prior interpretations of Old Testament prophecies, with the first major section addressing the Messianic prophecies found in the Pentateuch. This foundation suggests the work will not only analyze these predictions but will also connect them to the figure of Jesus Christ, thereby exploring their theological implications.
