Endorsements:

"If you love Luke's Gospel, which exalts Jesus and shows him as the fulfillment of the Old Testament, you will love this treatment of Luke's message. Full of insight and sensitive to Luke's own hermeneutic of the wider message of Scripture, this book is a treasure."
--Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary

"Open up Luke anew with the help of this fresh and faithful tour from a knowledgeable guide. Adam, the exodus, the wilderness, angels and demons, the Son of Man-it's all there in the Gospel of Luke. Gladd considers these, and more, to help us see the rich Old Testament contours of our great Savior and his great work on our behalf."
--Brandon D. Crowe, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary

"The length, breadth, and depth of Luke's Gospel can be daunting. Blending careful exegesis, theological synthesis, and canonical sensitivity, Benjamin Gladd provides an accessible and faithful exploration of some of its most significant themes, paying particular attention to their Old Testament roots. This book is ideal for enhancing one's personal study, preparing to preach or teach, or even as a supplemental textbook in a class on Luke. Highly recommended!"
--Matthew S. Harmon, Professor of New Testament Studies, Grace College and Theological Seminary; author, Asking the Right Questions: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Applying the Bible

"From the Manger to the Throne is required reading for students of Luke's Gospel! Benjamin Gladd ably guides readers to see how Jesus fulfills Old Testament expectations as true Israel, the long-awaited messianic king, the incarnate Lord, and more, leading us to greater confidence in Christ and joyful participation in his kingdom."
--Brian J. Tabb, President, Academic Dean, and Professor of Biblical Studies, Bethlehem College and Seminary

"Benjamin Gladd has provided a rich resource for readers of Luke's Gospel. Following the lead of Luke, and Jesus himself, Gladd shows that the patterns and promises of the whole of Scripture enrich our appreciation and understanding of the saving rule of the Lord Jesus. An expert guide who knows and loves his subject, Gladd deepens our understanding of who Jesus is and what he accomplished with a stimulating investigation into how Luke's portrait of the Lord Jesus is tied to the Old Testament. Fresh insights abound. By God's grace, the end result for readers of this volume will be, like the disciples at the end of Luke's Gospel, joyful worship of the Lord Jesus."
--Alan J. Thompson, Head of New Testament Department, Sydney Missionary and Bible College, Australia

"This deft and insightful thematic reading of Luke's Gospel majors on Jesus, the Old Testament, and fulfillments of the latter by the former. But Gladd extends the sweep of God's work from creation and the fall, through Jesus, to the church across the centuries, and into the age to come. If there is a richer, better informed, and more concise biblical-theological reading of the Third Gospel, I have not come across it. Students, pastors, and scholars alike will profit immensely."
--Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
