Comprehensive digital library for biblical studies Logos Bible SoftwareNote on Sources
This bibliography represents works that have significantly contributed to the understanding of Christological interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. While not every source agrees with all conclusions presented in this study, each provides valuable insights into the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of reading Scripture christologically.
Readers are encouraged to engage with primary sources (Scripture itself) as the ultimate authority, while using these secondary sources to enhance understanding of historical context, literary features, and interpretive traditions. The goal is not merely academic knowledge but deeper appreciation for how God has revealed Himself progressively throughout Scripture, culminating in His Son, Jesus Christ.
For those leading Bible study groups or teaching this material, the “Beginning Level” resources provide accessible starting points, while “Intermediate” and “Advanced” works offer deeper engagement with scholarly discussions. The feast studies in particular provide rich material for experiential learning that can enhance congregational understanding of Christ’s fulfillment of Hebrew Bible patterns and promises.
