Like a certain well-known brand of varnish, this weighty, scholarly volume does exactly ‘what it says on the tin’.
It provides a detailed analysis and commentary, not only of every quotation of an Old Testament text by a New Testament writer, but also of practically every allusion such a writer makes to an Old Testament incident, image or teaching. In so doing it provides a rich supply of information and insight, not only for those preaching on either Testament (as it has a wonderfully full textual index), but also for serious Bible students who simply want to understand God’s word more clearly and accurately.
