ꔛ★「認識神三部曲」磅礡合體ꔛ★最深入淺出的聖經神學邀您一同加入父、子、聖靈的深刻團契！少有一本書讓基督徒意識到，我們需要好好認識舊約，因為耶穌自己也是從舊約認出了他的身分和使命！若想真正認識耶穌，進而認識藉由神子完全啟示自身的父神，和在其中持續工作的聖靈，那麼認識塑造耶穌的舊約，就是條必經之路。若不認識舊約的故事，我們怎能全然明白耶穌所完成的故事？唯有認識了雅巍對亞伯拉罕的應許，我們才能看懂以色列和耶穌的使命，及其與福音的關係。唯有認識了以色列人對律法和聖潔的信念，才能理解耶穌劃時代的救贖衝擊，為世界帶來了哪些震盪與安慰。唯有認識了舊約中「立約」、「受膏」的涵義，聆聽先知們的信息，才能完整體會父神深廣的心意和聖靈從創世以來的工作。大師級聖經學者萊特寫給普羅大眾最好的「認識神三書」，一次收錄在《從舊約認識神》，帶領讀者回到聖經，以既平易又縝密的方式，清楚認識父、子、聖靈個別的特性與行動，不同於系統神學較抽象、概念性的討論，萊特引領讀者在聖經敘事的具體脈絡中，對三一神有本於聖經、多面向的豐富認識。讀者可在一部曲「認識耶穌」中，透過舊約對耶穌的層層影響，更認識耶穌，同時也對舊約有更好的認識；在二部曲「認識父神」中，從雅巍於舊約歷史的作為、與人類的互動、所重視的價值等面向，更明瞭父神的心意；在三部曲「認識聖靈」中，從創造、賦能、預言、膏立、再臨等五大層面，補足我們對聖靈過於單薄的認識。本書將舊約和新約連貫了起來，使父、子、聖靈從舊約到新約一脈相承的軸線得以顯現，融合了萊特深厚的學術功底和牧者心腸，是本有溫度的「聖經神學普及讀本」，幫助今日的我們，透過聖經對三一神有更好的認識，以及更深刻的團契。所有認真的基督徒都會同意，如果要確實理解聖經的信息，就得認識舊約的教導。在這趟探索旅程中，萊特是非常傑出的嚮導，因為他不僅是一流的學者，更有能力以平易近人的方式與他人分享他對舊約的認識。因此即使是對這領域沒有涉獵的人，讀起這本書來也會覺得有趣又好懂。——費蘭度（Ajith Fernando）萊特的生命結合了學者的智慧和宣教士的熱忱，這兩項恩賜在本書中的每一頁都躍然紙上。萊特的著作在我作為基督徒的思考和實踐上，有無可抹滅的貢獻。因此，看到他的重要著作匯集成此三部曲大作，讓我非常興奮。——坎迪亞（Krish Kandiah）Home For Good創辦人God Is Stranger
Luke's christology is carefully designed. Luke portrays the exalted Jesus as God's co-equal by the kinds of things he does and says from heaven. Through the Holy Spirit, the divine name and personal manifestations, Jesus behaves toward people in Luke-Acts as does Yahweh in the Old Testament. His power and knowledge are supreme. Jesus sovereignly reigns over Israel, the church, the powers of darkness and the world. Luke deepens this portrait by depicting Jesus as deity who by nature behaves as servant: the earthly Jesus acted among his people as one who serves; the exalted Jesus continues serving his people by strengthening and encouraging them in their witness of him to the world. That the believers in Acts resemble the way Jesus behaved in the Gospel means that they too are now imaging some of his servant-like character in their witness of him.
