H.

H. Wright's best loved books: \u003ci\u003eKnowing God the Father Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKnowing Jesus Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKnowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnowing God the Father Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e explores images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations, and yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline, and forgiveness. This is the God whom Jesus knew, and whom we can know, as Father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnowing Jesus Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers Jesus' self-understanding as Son of Man and Son of God from his deep roots in the Hebrew Scriptures. As the Jesus who fulfilled the mission that God had given to Israel is revealed, we discover that the more we understand the Old Testament, the closer we come to the heart of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament\u003c\/i\u003e traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. We see the Third Person of the Trinity in the decrees of prophets and psalmists, in the actions of judges and craftspeople, in the anointing of kings, and the promise of a new creation. The witness of the whole of Scripture directs us to a Holy Spirit empowering the people of God, and sustaining and renewing the face of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis three-volume work will strengthen and deepen readers' personal relationships with the triune God by enabling them to know him through deep immersion and engagement with his Word, especially in the less familiar voices of the Old Testament. This is a voyage of biblical discovery, crossing many horizons and exploring especially the sources of our knowledge of God the Holy Trinity--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher J.
