In the 2014 New York Times bestseller Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh made a case for the Gospels as hard evidence of the existence of God, drawing on his own spiritual journey from skeptic to believer. Now Limbaugh looks deeper into the scriptures and discovers that Jesus Christ’s very being reveals itself in a close reading of the sacred texts.
The Emmaus Code is a powerful, intimate journey toward an understanding of Christ as man, savior, and son of God.

"The Emmaus Code is based on Luke 24:27, where Jesus explains to a pair of his disciples how the Old Testament predicts and explains his life, death, and resurrection. Limbaugh has amassed material from a broad range of Christians on this topic--mostly from Dispensational Protestants, but there are non-Protestant voices too, and he explains views other than Dispensationalism.
This book is mostly for people who don't understand the importance of the Old Testament. If you have studied the OT very much, you may still learn a few things, but Limbaugh is mostly trying to get people who have never bothered to explore the OT to understand its relevance to Christianity.
There are some debatable points. For example, he accepts the popular view that God rejected Cain's offering because it was bloodless, though what Cain and Abel presented to God was an "offering," not a sacrifice--probably more of a tithe or "first fruits" offering (no blood required). Still, it is a common idea, so readers may as well be aware of it, and if this book leads to further exploration of Old Testament scholarship, any problems will take care of themselves.
Summary: If you are not regularly reading and studying through the OT, you ought to read this."
