About This Item
Burlington, ONT, CAN: Welch Publishing Company, 1984 Welch Publishing Company, Burlington, ONT, CAN. 1984. Softcover/Trade Wraps. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light tip bumping. No DJ. Printed card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 78 pp 8vo. The author points to God's promise of redemption fulfilled in Jesus Christ as the key to understanding Handel's great lyric epic. The Messiah is a lyric epic whose grand theme is the great drama of redemption. Woven into its rich texture are phrases of Scripture which tell of promise and fulfillment. The Saviour of whom the Old Testament prophets prophesied has actually come in the person of Jesus Christ. To Him, the New Testament apostles bear testimony. Messianic prophecy has matured into gospel history. If you are gifted with the sensitivity of faith, listening to Handel's oratorio will be more than a cultural experience. You pass through a moving moment of spiritual renewal, pregnant with consequence for eternal good. A clean very presentable copy.
