Synopsis

At the moment when Jesus entered the realm of redemptive history, God's people and the hurting world needed no further promises or prophecies. The one thing they lacked was fulfillment—they needed the promised Messiah and his consummate kingdom to come.

Noted theologian O. Palmer Robertson's three-volume Christ of the Consummation explores progressive revelation across the redemptive history of the New Testament. The first volume, The Testimony of the Four Gospels, emphasizes the eyewitness character of the four men who attest to the supernatural in-breaking of the Christ. In the rich tapestry of the Gospels, we see Christ overcome the powers of Satan, gradually unveil his identity by words and works, call and commission disciples, die on the cross, be raised, and ascend to heaven. By each witnessing distinctive aspects of the coming of the King and the establishment of his kingdom, the gospel writers boldly describe a new phase in redemptive revelation.

So pleased to have been introduced to this author's work in the last year (especially on the Psalms). I particularly appreciate the openly evangelistic/pastoral note that characterises them.......more

Goodreads review by Tyler on January 28, 2023

Not my most thorough review, but a book worth mentioning. Robertson surveys the gospels in order to provide a primer that I’ll likely use for reference many times in the future. The first half of the book zeroes in on the composite portrait of Jesus painted by the four evangelists. The second half ta......more

Goodreads review by Robert on January 09, 2023

A fantastic introductory biblical theology to the Gospels whereby Dr. Robertson practices what he preaches: theology should draw us closer into fellowship with the living God. Nearly every major section ends on an evangelistic note. If the purpose of the gospels were to be eyewitness accounts so tha......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on February 22, 2023

With this book, Robertson, a veteran OT scholar, begins his foray into NT theology. While written more on the beginning and intermediate level, especially when compared to such tomes as Beale's or Stuhlmacher's, there is glimmers of insight throughout for the more advanced reader of NT scholarship.......more
