If you want to know Jesus, start with the Old Testament.
Most Christians and Latter-day Saints encounter Jesus first in the Gospels. We read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn who He is, what He taught, and why He matters. Yet the people who first heard Jesus speak already knew the scriptures we call the Old Testament. They understood His words because they already knew His story.
Most Christians and Latter-day Saints encounter Jesus first in the Gospels. We read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn who He is, what He taught, and why He matters. Yet the people who first heard Jesus speak already knew the scriptures we call the Old Testament. They understood His words because they already knew His story.
Knowing Jesus reveals a powerful truth: The Old Testament is already a book about Jesus Christ.
Long before Bethlehem, Jesus walked in Eden. Long before Galilee, He spoke from the burning bush. Long before Calvary, prophets, priests, kings, sacrifices, covenants, psalms, and prophecies testified of Him.
This book provides a guided journey through the Hebrew Scriptures, showing how the Old Testament prepares readers to recognize, understand, and appreciate Jesus in deeper ways than most modern readers imagine.
Inside you'll discover: Jesus as Jehovah
Meet Jesus in His premortal role as the God of Israel:
- Walking in Eden with Adam and Eve
- Appearing to Abraham at Mamre
- Speaking from the burning bush
- Revealing His glory at Sinai
- Standing before Joshua as Captain of the Lord's Host
- Sitting upon Isaiah's throne
- Appearing in Daniel's vision as the Son of Man Jesus in Prophecy
Explore the great messianic prophecies:
- The Seed of the Woman
- The Star out of Jacob
- Immanuel
- The Mighty God and Prince of Peace
- The Branch from David's line
- Bethlehem and the coming King
- Zechariah's vision of the Passion
- Malachi's promise of the Messenger and Sun of Righteousness Jesus in Type and Shadow
See how Old Testament lives and events foreshadow Christ:
- Adam
- Abel
- Noah
- Melchizedek
- Isaac
- Joseph
- Moses
- Joshua
- Boaz
- David
- Jonah
- Hosea Jesus in the Temple and Sacrificial System
Learn how ancient Israel's worship pointed directly to Jesus through:
- The Passover Lamb
- The Five Offerings of Leviticus
- The Day of Atonement
- The Tabernacle
- The Priesthood
- The Feasts of Israel Jesus in the Psalms, Wisdom Literature, Covenants, and Character of God
Discover how the Old Testament reveals the heart, mission, and divine identity of Christ centuries before His mortal ministry. Written specifically for Latter-day Saint readers, yet accessible to any Christian seeking a deeper understanding of scripture, Knowing Jesus serves as both an introduction and a companion to serious gospel study. Each short chapter begins with an Old Testament passage, explores its original context, and then shows how it illuminates a specific moment, teaching, or event in the New Testament. Readers can move through the book in sequence or use individual chapters alongside personal scripture study, Sunday School, seminary, institute, or Come Follow Me lessons. The result is transformative. Passages that once seemed distant become vibrant. Prophecies become personal. Symbols become meaningful. The Gospels become richer. And Jesus becomes more recognizable on every page of scripture.
Because the deeper you understand the Old Testament, the more clearly you see the Savior it has been testifying of all along.
