NSBT 43: God's Mediators

A canonical study of the priesthood of God's people and of
Christ






God's Mediators shows that there are many investigations of the Old
Testament priests and the New Testament's appropriation of such imagery
to describe Jesus Christ. There are also studies of Israel's corporate
priesthood and what this means for the priesthood of God's new covenant
people. However, such studies are less frequently connected with one another:
key interrelations are missed, and key questions are not addressed.






Making two passes across the tapestry of Scripture, Andrew Malone
traces these two threads and their intersections, with an eye to the
contemporary relevance of both themes in both Testaments.






Malone shows how our Christology and perseverance as God's people
are enhanced by the way the book of Hebrews depicts Christ's own
priesthood. Furthermore, Christians better understand their corporate identity
and mission by discerning both the ministry of individual Old Testament priests
and Israel's corporate calling. Combining the various biblical emphases
on priesthood in one place provides synergies that are too easily
disregarded.
