I Saw the Lord: A Biblical Theology of Vision

by Abner Chou

Overview

The visions of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Paul, and John have captivated the people of God. Could it be that we are drawn to these spectacular passages because they are all different angles of the same eschatological event? This study explores the visions of these writers as they relate to their individual theology in light of the possibility that these writers saw different facets of the climax of history when the Son receives all glory.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Someone somewhere wrote that a book is good if the reader opens it with expectation and closes it with delight and profit. I Saw the Lord is just such a book. Chou takes us on an exegetical and theological tour of the synoptic visions of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Paul, and John. We witness his persistent examination of the biblical text in the light of innertextual and intertextual elements as he investigates the potential harmonization of these visions."
—William D. Barrick, professor of Old Testament, The Master's Seminary, CA
