The Gospel in Genesis
The object of these pages is simple, clear, holy. It is to arouse attention to the blessed truth, that Christ pervades all Scripture, as salt all waters of the sea, as light the brightest day, as fragrance the garden of choice flowers. To see this is my prime delight. To testify it is my happiest duty. Devoted loyalty to Him who is the first and last, the sum and substance of all Scripture, impels me. Earnest zeal for the undying souls of men constrains me. I know, and am intensely persuaded, that all peace, all joy, all salvation, are in Jesus. My eyes are widely open to the fact that men are blessed, and are blessings, just in proportion as they live, ever gazing on Christ, ever listening to His voice. Therefore my desire in these pages is to turn minds to clear discoveries of the Lord Jesus. The Father's eye moves not from Him. The Spirit never wearies to reveal Him. Angelic intellect pants to dive more into His depths. The saints in light find Him increase of everlasting light. May the unfolding Spirit help each reader to glean more in the golden field of Scripture; and may the Pentateuch be found a boundless treasury of Christ!

The author does a great job of clearly and unmistakably pointing out Christ through our origins in Genesis. Wonderful pictures of our Saviour. Would highly recommend if you’ve struggled to read the Old Testament. Is a great tool to spark a new way of looking a scripture.

Very good. This is not a comprehensive treatment of the Gospel in Genesis, but is rather a collection of expository messages on the major Gospel types. The book is scholarly, but is also warm and robustly pastoral. Recommended.

Law does an excellent job of drawing out great insights from the types of Christ in Genesis and combining these with devotional meditations as well as practical exhortations. Filled with many memorable lines.

Although some of the shadows seen in Genesis seem to be a bit of a stretch in places, it is a very good devotional book. It is heart-warming.
