Carrying on from last week, we will review the concept of "typology" and apply it more directly to the "History of Salvation" -- aka ''God's plan for salvation.'' | |||
== Friday, Sept 13: Typology == | |||
What do we Christians make of the Old Testament? There are various approaches to it across denominations, but there can be only one basic understanding, which comes from the Lord himself in [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/5?17 Matthew 5:17]:<blockquote>“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill."</blockquote>Much to discuss there, especially given the larger context of the verse in the Beatitudes. However we can take directly from it the notion of "typology" -- that the Old Testament "prefigures" Christ who "fulfills" it. | What do we Christians make of the Old Testament?
