On the road to Emmaus, JesusÕ explanation of the gospel was not based upon any new revelation.

He said to them, ÒHow foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?Ó And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:25-27

Jesus drew exclusively from the Old Testament and the books of Moses, asserting that the truth regarding His work in the reconciliation of God and fallen man and the complete answer to ÒwhyÓ He died upon the Cross of Calvary is defined within those cob-web laden passages of scripture.

As a result of years of painstaking research and complex typological analysis, this book describes in meticulous detail what Jesus said on that lonely road to Emmaus over 2,000 years ago. Most astonishing is what this understanding means for our lives today. Now the journey truly begins.
