Unhitched: Why Jesus Can’t Be Divorced from the Old Testament

Unhitched: Why Jesus Can’t Be Divorced from the Old Testament

A new generation of Christian teachers, pastors, and scholars are telling their readers that following Jesus means making him the center of our faith and setting much of the Old Testament aside. But if Jesus really is the center of our faith, shouldn't we be asking ourselves what he thought about the Old Testament? What role did the Old Testament have in Jesus' teaching and how did he want his followers to see it and use it? In Unhitched, Cody Cook examines the works of both recent and ancient proponents of unhitching Jesus from the Old Testament and holds them to the standard of Jesus' own words. In addition to interacting with the works of Keith Giles, Gregory Boyd, and Andy Stanley, this book includes illuminating interviews with Keith Giles and Old Testament scholars A. Phillip Brown II and Michael Heiser.
