Jesus: The Alpha and Omega of Bible Study
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Where do we go to learn how to read the Bible? My answer is simple: Jesus. We have a record of the way Jesus approached, viewed, interpreted, and applied Scripture to His own life and to those around Him. As a matter of first priority, everyone who professes to follow Christ should read the scriptures the way He did. There is something disarming about looking at the way Jesus approached Scripture. Regardless of theological distinctives, true Christians have two things in common. First, they want to be more like Christ. Second, they want to understand the Bible better. These two commitments are enough for those wishing to improve their understanding of Scripture. This book focuses on the way Jesus interpreted Scripture and was revealed through Scripture. The ultimate goal of this book is for my readers to know the Christ of Scripture more intimately by using sound principles of biblical interpretation that come from Jesus Himself.

Being asked to endorse this book was truly a gift of God’s grace in my life; otherwise, I might never have read it. I love God’s Word—it is my life, my daily bread. And still, there were times when Thomas Baber’s profound insights brought tears of awe and overflowing gratitude for ‘so great a salvation’ as laid out from Genesis to Revelation. Through Thomas’ invitation to endorse Jesus: The Alpha and Omega of Bible Study I see how God was preparing me to consider some of His precepts more deeply. I highly recommend you consider reading it. May it touch your heart, enlighten your mind and enrich your soul as it has mine.

The most important thing a Bible expositor does obviously is interpret Scripture. The greatest model for interpretation is our Lord Himself in the way He handled the Old Testament. This book will give you insight into the hermeneutics of Jesus, which becomes a pattern for us to follow.
