“Redemptive-historical hermeneutics has been a major topic among Reformed scholars. What it means is simply that every part of the Bible teaches Christ, and that the most important thing about every passage is what it teaches us about him. Many pastors interpret biblical texts this way in their sermons, but they dont always explain to the congregation what they are doing. Dennis Johnsons Journeys with Jesus explains the concept well. Johnson shows us how we can read the Bible ourselves in a Christ-centered way, and how this approach enriches our understanding of the Word of God.”

“Others have written on how the Old Testament leads to Christ. What makes Journeys with Jesus stand out is that it is written by a New Testa- ment scholar. Some treatments present Christ as merely the solution to an Old Testament puzzle. But once the puzzle is solved, we learn little about the Savior himself. Strong on hermeneutical techniques, they are weak on Christ. By contrast, Dennis Johnson expounds the organic char- acter of redemptive history with a deep appreciation for New Testament Christology. This is an essential combination and makes Journeys with Jesus an outstandingly helpful book.”

“Dennis Johnson leads us by the hand along the desert road where the Ethiopian eunuch met Philip in the book of Acts, as he sought help in understanding the Bibles message. Like Philip, Dr. Johnson focuses our gaze on the crucified, risen, and glorified Messiah, Jesus, as the central message of the Scriptures. In the process, he teaches us how to trace these biblical connections with greater skill, both for our own personal benefit and so that we can better teach others.”
