My Ridley Colleague Andrew Malone has written a book called\u00a0Knowing Jesus in the Old Testament? A Fresh Look at Christophanies\u00a0<\/em>(Nottingham, UK: IVP, 2015).<\/p>\n

Note how the book begins:<\/p>\n

\"Andrew<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irrespective, its a great little discussion about the meaning of so-called \u201cChristophanies\u201d in the OT. So much so that I wrote this blurb for the book:<\/p>\n

Who is the \u201cAngel of the Lord\u201d? Is it God, Jesus, or Michael? Thankfully Andrew Malone engages in a careful study of these disputed \u201cchristophany\u201d texts. He provides a thorough engagement with all the issues and offers some fresh thoughts about how the NT interprets the OT. A great work on the hermeneutics of the so-called christophanies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
