The Road to Emmaus

Using Handel’s Messiah and hymns of the church, Gil Miller has taken a fresh and new approach to the subject of Christ in the Old Testament.

Dr. Miller’s work, punctuated by references to Handel’s Messiah detailing prophecy becoming reality, will be of interest to both theological scholar and musician alike.

“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27)

In The Road to Emmaus, Dr. Miller introduces text from Handel’s Messiah as possible passages of Scripture that Jesus might have used with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Rather than looking at the messianic prophecies from Genesis to Malachi in the order of the books in the Old Testament, each chapter of this book presents a theme and traces it through the whole of Scripture, beginning with Jesus as the Lamb of God and ending with his resurrection.
