<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The biblical offices of prophet, priest, and king are time-tested categories to make sense of the person and the work of Christ. I am therefore grateful for this new volume by Richard Belcher which walks the reader through each of these three anointed offices in the OT, and provides some ways that they illumine the work of Christ as the one who was anointed with the Holy Spirit beyond measure. This is a fine introduction not only to prophet, priest, and king in the OT, but also to the person and work of Christ in the NT.--Brandon D. Crowe, Associate Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia<br>
