Charles Drew knows how to preach and it shows! His images and use of language are very striking. A PCA pastor in Manhattan, and Harvard grad., Rev. Drew really penetrates the Biblical texts. He pushes the reader past moralisms and allegories so common in Old Testament interpretation and takes us right to the Cross. I have never read a better Christ-Centered, Covenantal approach to Scripture. If you are not used to this, it will revolutionize the way you look at the Old Testament. One of my favorite books of the past year.

The Ancient Love Song is a very well-written Christology of the Old Testament. I had not considered many of the implications that are brought forth in this book about the many ways that the Old Testament foreshadows Christ. Anyone should read this just before getting into a study of the OT. It has changed my perspective on the nature of God's Revelation of himself and his promises in Scripture.

This is a great book of Biblical Theology. Drew goes through the Old Testament showing how Jesus is the clear main character of the entire story of Scripture.
