This afternoon, and for quite a few Wednesday afternoons to follow, I’ve got something I think you’ll enjoy. It’s a series of short films created by David Murray that focus on Christ’s appearances in the Old Testament as the Angel of the Lord. This week’s episode is titled “Bonus Gospel.”
The DVD and Study Guide (sample here) are available for pre-order, and will be launched at The Gospel Coalition Conference Preaching Christ from the Old Testament on April 12.
However, you can buy the digital download of the whole series here for $5. Or visit Ligonier’s online store in the next few days for the download and also to pre-order the DVD and Study Guide.
Every Wednesday for the next ten weeks, check in here at the blog for a time-limited streaming version of each episode. And now, to get you started, here is the first episode:
David Murray is Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was a pastor in Scotland for 12 years before coming to Grand Rapids in 2007 with his wife Shona and their four children. He blogs regularly at Head Heart Hand.

When does this time limit begin and end?
Episode 1 will be available forever. The following episodes will be available to stream for one week each.
Hmmm … I’ve never quite understood how it is that we conclude that “the Angel of the LORD” in the OT is specifically Jesus (as opposed to the one, triune God, or an anonymous envoy speaking for Him, or both at once). I thoroughly agree that the Son of God is present in the OT - all through it, in fact - but from what I can see, the NT simply declares that Jesus is the LORD (Yahweh).
But I’m always happy to have my views shaken up a little and my blind spots revealed, so I’m eager to keep watching! Guess that was the point of the first teaser video anyway :)
