Mattheus Gargon - Further explanation and confirmation of the crucified Christ, and agreement of the Old and New Testaments from Psalm XXII, XXXII, and LXIX - Leiden, Samuel Luchtmans, 1723 - 870 pages - 23 x 17.5 cm

Condition: good
Bound in original parchment binding with spine ribs. Good book block and neat pages.

Extensive theological-exegetical study in which Gargon explains and affirms the crucifixion of Christ by drawing parallels between the New Testament and three Psalms from the Old Testament.
Christological focus: The work explains how Christ’s suffering and crucifixion are already prophesied in the Old Testament.

Exegesis of Psalms

My God, why have You forsaken me? – directly connected to Jesus' words on the cross.
Psalm 32: Guilt and forgiveness, applied to Christ as a substitute.
Psalm 69: Suffering and shame, seen as a foreshadowing of the cross.

Gargon aims to demonstrate that there is harmony between the Old and New Testaments, and that Christ’s crucifixion was not accidental but confirmed by Scripture.
Typical of the Reformed orthodoxy of the 17th–18th centuries: extensive biblical commentaries, of an apologetic and polemical nature.
