Synopsis

Volume II is a follow-up to Dr. Meyer van Rensburg’s best selling first volume under the same title. In the first volume images of Christ that appeared in the first ten chapters of Genesis were revealed to our view in order to show how God has been in control of the writing of the Scriptures from the very beginning. “He is as vividly painted in Genesis as what He is in the Gospels. He is the Alfa and the Omega and He stands as clearly at the beginning of our world in the Garden of Eden in Genesis as He stands at the end in Revelation. The whole Bible is the revelation of Jesus Christ (Rev.1:1): He has first place in it. The history that is in the Bible is His-story.” In fact, the whole of Genesis depicts Christ. The first two chapters, which deal with the creation, show us Christ, the Creator, and after that the Gospel story is depicted by the characters in the different chapters, as each one shows us another aspect of the life of Christ, setting out clearly the steps of redemption. In this new volume our journey through Genesis continues as the author shows us more images of Christ, and thereby revealing how Jesus was already revealed in the first book of the Bible as the Baptiser with the Holy Spirit; God’s Son; Our High Priest and King; The Living Word; the Heir of the World; and the Well of Living Water. Genesis is often called “the seed plot of the Bible” and here we can see why: one image of Christ after another emerges from the mists of antiquity as God’s Spirit reveals them to us through Dr. Meyer’s penmanship. Each image is well researched but the author connects with the reader in a conversational style that shows his love for God and His Word as aspects of the Word that have seldom been seen or discussed are revealed

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Meyer van Rensburg was born in the Northern Cape, in South Africa, and spent his youth as a farmer's son, while attending school near Kimberley and later at Brits, near Pretoria. From this background emerges a love for gardening: planting , watering and cultivating seeds. This fits in well with the meaning of his first name: 'sower of seeds.' He also paints in oils and his paintings can be seen at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/meyer-van-rensburg.html?tab=artwork Dr. Meyer was born again in 1982 and has been studying God's Word ever since. He attended Bible school in 1985/86 and then continued his studies to obtain five degrees: Bachelor of Theology, Master of Christian Counselling, Master of Divinity, Master in Practical Theology (Bangor, Wales) and Doctor of Ministry. God has called him as a teacher of the Word and he has been sowing spiritual seed for the Lord since then, first as the founder and president of Covenant Bible Training Centre in Johannesburg and as a freelance presenter at Radio Pulpit in South Africa up till 2004. There he presented various programmes such as "Mosaic," "Bible Crossword," "Light before Midnight," "Music and the Word," and also the very popular, "Running the Race," where he interviewed Christian sportsmen on Friday mornings. Some of his other books are: Brother to Brother, A Handbook for the Study of Covenants; A Dwelling Place for God: A Handbook for the Study of the Tabernacle; God & sons: A Study in the Fatherhood of God; Images of Christ in Genesis, Volume One: and Images of Christ in Genesis, Volume Three. He writes extensively, regularly contributing articles to Christian magazines and is also a popular conference speaker. Since 2004 he has been lecturing in the UK, first in Bristol and then in London, where he has also appeared on Christian television from time to time. He travels worldwide and regularly returns to South Africa for teaching tours. He is married to Lorraine, whom he calls Lainie, and they are the proud parents of five daughters. Meyer used to be a sound engineer until he went full-time into the ministry. He paints in oils, writes poetry, does woodwork and gardening. His favourite Scripture is Galatians 2:20: 'I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.'
