It reinterprets Jewish laws and rituals as allegories foreshadowing Christ and the new covenant.

John Flavel (1627-1691) was an English Presbyterian clergyman, puritan, and popular author. Christ Altogether Lovely is a short meditation on the life and work of Jesus Christ. The text is introduced by a quote from The Song of Songs: "This is my beloved, and this is my friend." (Song of Songs 5:16). Flavel highlights Christ's offices as prophet, priest, and king, and his relations to Christians as savior, advocate, bridegroom, and friend.

In doing so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years of prophetic silence before Jesus.
