This is a new kind of biblical theology that explains why, when, and how Christ came. The author combines and develops chiastic and cyclical readings of the biblical story to show that the whole Old Testament is leading its readers to anticipate the coming of Christ at the time and in the manner he came. Other biblical theologies show how certain themes develop from the Old Testament and into the New, but this one shows the narrowing focus of the Old Testament on one man, with the right genealogy, who came at the right time, and who fulfilled the uncompleted Old Testament storyline in the right way.

Reviews for Christ the Center of Biblical Time

""I am honored to commend Andrew Messmer's new book to the church and the academy. Andy's love of the Scriptures and his gift for pattern recognition is evident throughout his book. He is a pioneer in such macro-biblical theological explorations. His new work will helpfully challenge old convictions with expanded horizons of imagination, all safely within the disciplines of well-established literary conventions. May the Lord continue to bless his work to the edification of his church."" --Warren A. Gage, President, Watermark Gospel
