Author: Andrew Perry. This book 2nd Ed. Oct 20o7, 376 pages, soft back examines texts in the NT which are interpreted as proving that Jesus had some manner of existence prior to his birth of the Virgin Mary. Every text is examined and shown not to bear this implication once they are read in the light of Jewish typological patterns. Jesus "existed" in the types of the OT narratives, but he did not literally pre-exist in heaven.
