A Closer Look

-Why does the order of Jesus' temptations in the wilderness differ when comparing the parallel accounts in Matthew and Luke? -If Christ was raised on the third day, "according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:4), where do you find that in the Old Testament? -Was there really no room for Joseph and Mary in the inn?-Which prophet was spared death because of Uriah's death? -Who was Ahithophel related to, and why does it matter? -Did Jonah's prophecy against Nineveh fail?-Was there more to Jesus' turning water into wine than simply a display of His divine power? This book tackles these questions and many others both exegetically and devotionally. Each brief exposition deals with a passage and/or details that have often been overlooked or taken for granted by those who read the Scriptures regularly. Their treatment in this book calls us to A Closer Look.
