Christian Faith in the Old Testament helps us complete this daunting task with ease. In this intriguing and informative study, Gareth Lee Cockerill helps us view the New Testament as a fulfillment of the Old Testament, giving us a broad perspective on Scripture as a whole. In language that is easily accessible to the layperson, Gareth explores the role of each major part of the Old Testament Canon and what part each plays in the total scope of biblical revelation. Additionally, Christian Faith in the Old Testament offers important guidance to contemporary believers about how each part of the Old Testament Canon applies today. This book is the perfect choice for intelligent modern Christians looking to discover their apostolic roots in the Old Testament.

It is good to see a New Testament scholar who wants to put the whole Bible together for us. I like it. You will be richer for reading Christian Faith in the Old Testament.
Dennis F. Kinlaw
Founder of The Francis Asbury Society.
Steeped in decades of close attention to the Book of Hebrews, Gary Cockerill approaches the Old Testament as the promise leading to fulfillment in Christ. For all of us who believe that the Old Testament should be read the way Jesus and the apostles interpreted it, Christian Faith in the Old Testament is a gold mine.

As a pastor, Christian Faith in the Old Testament: the Bible of the Apostles really connects with me. I will use this well-written and informative book often in my reading, preaching, and teaching. In addition, I will encourage my congregation to read it! Dr. Cockerill helps everyone to grasp the wholeness of Scripture and provides aids to help us live an obedient life that reflects the full-scope of the Bibles teaching.
Steve Schellin
Senior Pastor, Southland Community Church Greenwood, Indiana
Modern critical scholarship often questions the coherence and authority of the Old Testament, and many sincere believers are often confused and baffled by it. Just what does the Old Testament have to do with the Christian gospel? In this excellent and very edifying book, Gary Cockerill shows howand whythe Old Testament is important. Christian Faith in the Old Testament offers insight for theologians (after a decade of teaching, I have learned from it) as well as much-needed and very accessible help for ordinary Christian readers of the Bible. This is a wonderful bookone to which I shall return often.

To my wife, Rosa.
Christian Faith in the Old Testament: The Bible of the Apostles is the result of more than thirty years of study, meditation, and prayer. God has given me the opportunity to preach and teach this material in a variety of contexts. Almost everything that I have done has contributed to this volume. My study of the book of Hebrews has fueled my interest in the continuing relevance of the Old Testament. Teaching biblical theology and the principles of biblical interpretation has forced me to think deeply about the way the Bible fits together as a whole. Service to the church in Sierra Leone, West Africa, afforded me the opportunity to grasp the message of the Bible in a fresh way. Several series of Bible studies that I have done in camps and conferences have found their way into this book. I offer what insight has been given me out of a sense of vocation, with deep thanksgiving to God, and with the hope that it will glorify God by enriching ordinary people in their understanding of, and obedience to, his word.
I owe a debt of gratitude to a multitude of people. More scholars have contributed to my understanding of scripture than I can name or remember. Those familiar with Christopher J. H. Wright will easily note my debt to him and to his work on Old Testament ethics. I am very thankful to Alee Anderson, Study Resources Editor at Thomas Nelson, for her enthusiasm, support, and editorial guidance. Frank Couch, Vice President of Thomas Nelson for Study Resources and Translation Development, has also been a great encouragement. I am also thankful to Heather McMurray, who helped kick-start the publishing process for this book. Pastor Steve Schellin graciously read the entire manuscript and provided feedback, as did my good friend Dave Steveline and my father, W. Lee Cockerill. My son-in-law, Dr. Carey Vinzant, helped me with chapter 2 in particular and also with other parts of the book. I am grateful to Dr. John Neihof, President of Wesley Biblical Seminary, for his encouragement. Im also grateful to the former and current directors of Reformed Theological Seminary library, Dr. Kenneth Elliott and John Crabb, for providing me with a research room. Dr. John McCarty, Circulation Director, has also been a great help. My thanks to all who have provided an endorsement for this book.
I am especially grateful to my wife, Rosa, who has encouraged me at every step, given me feedback on the manuscript, and provided me with the resources and leisure necessary to complete this project. Sometimes she has even cut the grass so that I could write. It is to her that I lovingly dedicate this book.
