The Scarlet Thread. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Scarlet Thread

From the coats of skin in Eden to the Lamb standing as though slain at the center of heaven's throne, one scarlet thread runs unbroken through the whole of Scripture.

Cut the Bible anywhere and it bleeds. In Eden, God clothes the guilty in the skins of a slain animal — the first death, to cover the first sin. On Moriah, a ram dies in the place of a son, and Abraham names the mountain The LORD will provide. In Egypt, blood on the doorpost turns away the destroyer. At Sinai, a covenant is sealed in blood; in Leviticus, God states the principle outright — the life is in the blood, and it is the blood that makes atonement. The prophets carry the thread forward to a Servant crushed for our iniquities, and the Gospels to a cross where the Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world. Follow the thread to its end and you arrive, every time, at Calvary — and then past Calvary to the throne, where the redeemed sing that they were purchased by the blood.

The Scarlet Thread traces that crimson line from Genesis to Revelation, showing that the blood of Jesus is not one doctrine among many but the single strand on which every other doctrine is strung — creation and fall, covenant and law, prophecy and fulfillment, cross and consummation. Along the way it opens the great words of the atonement — redemption, propitiation, expiation, reconciliation — not as dry theological terms but as facets of a single, blood-bought salvation. It answers the modern objections to the blood honestly and without flinching, and it presses the doctrine home to the conscience: the blood that cleanses, the blood that speaks a better word, the blood that is the believer's confidence in the hour of death.

Written for the academy, the pulpit, and the pew alike — with full exegetical care, a lexicon of the blood in Hebrew and Greek, extensive notes, and a complete Scripture index — this is the central volume of The Scarlet Thread Trilogy, and a book for every Christian who has ever sung that there is power, wonder-working power, in the blood.

Follow the thread. It leads home.
