This meticulous manual catalogues all the references and appearances of Jesus Christ in the scriptures of the Old Testament and the Gospels.
The notion that Christ's life and death are foreshadowed by many passages in scriptures predating His birth is the central thesis of this book. Allusions to the events of Christ's life are numerous, and the author sets about quoting each one in sequence of their appearance. As such we begin with the Book of Genesis, proceed through the Pentateuch and then the later scriptures. Every passage referred to is discussed at length, the author revealing its pertinence to prophecy and the Son of God. Other verse which ties in to the subject at hand is appended, that the Bible student gains maximal insight.
A much-appreciated Biblical scholar who published his works in the early 20th century, A. M. Hodgkin's breadth of knowledge was put to paper across several books.

Through the author's scholarship we realize fully the significance of Jesus across the scriptural texts, becoming enlightened as to His immense role in the Holy Bible.
