Prophet, Priest, and King

Although early church fathers recognized the different roles of Christ,
John Calvin was the first to call attention to his distinct offices of prophet,
priest, and king. Starting in Genesis, these offices recur time and again
throughout the Bible. Viewed alongside Christ's humiliation and
exultation, they give us a fully rounded understanding of his work, as well as
insight into the ongoing work of the church. In this biblical theology, Richard
Belcher explores and defines the basic functions of prophets, priests, and
kings through an analysis of key Old Testament texts before discussing the
fulfillment of these offices in Christ and the transformation of these offices
for the church, its leaders, and individual believers. Includes study
questions.
