The Lord Appeared: Jesus as YHWH in the Old Testament
The Old Testament is filled with appearances of YHWH. Although these appearances are often interpreted as visions, dreams or angelic messengers, many in pre-Christian Judaism attributed them to YHWH’s “Word,” a unique divine person who mediated between YHWH and creation. This “Word” was not considered a separate creature outside of God but rather as an aspect or part of God. By following a trail of data across Israel’s scriptures and its earliest commentators, The Lord Appeared argues that Christians originally viewed Jesus as this “Word” of ancient Judaism.
Drawing on a wide range of scholarly sources, James Agnew presents a rigorous case for the deity of Christ and outlines an intuitive model for understanding Jesus’s relationship to YHWH.
