... a book that ought to grace every minister's bookshelf. With the substance wrestled down from head to heart, this is a book to help and inspire believers at all stage of their lives and pilgrimages.

In this volume Dr Reymond offers a substantial and clear defence of the traditional Christian assertion that the Bible represents Jesus as the Divine Messiah. In an age when this claim is debated by many and dismissed by some, the first part of this volume re-examines many of the messianic texts of the Old Testament. The second part looks at how the New Testament authors regarded Jesus and drew on the Old Testament material to show that Jesus was indeed the long-expected Messiah and was himself Divine. This is an inspiring and challenging work from a strong evangelical scholar. It is a worthy summary of the biblical evidence that Jesus is the Divine Messiah and offers an excellent resource for all evangelicals seeking to defend this vital biblical teaching.

Dr Reymond has produced a massive analysis of the biblical witness to the deity of Jesus, the Messiah. He takes great care to analyse various critical views of recent vintage and to show how they fail to give us a consistent picture of Christ. Probably not since H.P. Liddon's The Divinity of our Lord (1867) has such a massive defence of the deity of Jesus appeared in print. Dr Reymond worthily functions in the train of G. Vos, B.B. Warfield, and J.G. Machen.

This volume displays a truly impressive breadth of scholarship, and is a consistently conservative summary of the biblical evidence as well as the critical arguments at every conceivable point of importance in the contemporary christological debate. The book is thorough, competent, and orthodox; it brings together in one volume much helpful material for the convenience of both teacher and student.
