Preaching and the Old Testament

My summer reading will include theological works which are part of my curriculum at The Bethlehem Institute (the vocational ministry training program of Bethlehem Baptist Church). First on the docket is Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture by Graeme Goldsworthy. In the first chapter, Goldsworthy mentions the difficulty associated with finding Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Some quotes:

"The message of the Old Testament is too easily reduced to the imitation of godly examples and the avoidance of the ungodly example."

"The nature of the relationship between the salvation revealed in the Old Testament and the gospel of Jesus Christ is something that we strive to understand on the basis of our biblical theology."

So far, this book is great. Particularly if (like me) you are somewhat unfamiliar with the term "biblical theology" or how all of the Bible points to the one message of salvation most clearly expounded in the New Testament.
