Hengstenberg was a Reformed Lutheran divine that fought strongly for the inspiration of the Bible, and rejected many modernizing factors and movements in his day.

Hengstenberg is one of the older, towering names in Evangelical Christianity, perhaps best known for Christology of the Old Testament. Hengstenberg’s books are cited hundreds of times in works such as Pulpit Commentary and Keil & Delitzsch’s Commentary on the OT. The translator/editor of Calvin’s Commentaries also makes frequent reference to Hengstenberg.

In these classic commentaries, Hengstenberg calls attention to the messianic prophecies and types of Christ (Adam, Jonah, etc.) by evaluating the Old Testament in light of New Testament revelations, such as Christology, Christ’s sacrifice, Israel, and the church.
