دانلود کتاب A survey and analysis of contemporary evangelical hermeneutical approaches to understanding Messiah in the Old Testament

It identifies various positions represented by evangelicals, and lists major, relative works within each category. Then it analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
