Old Testament in Light of the New

Description

The Stages of God’s Plan
Stephen Clark

Emmaus Road Publishing

“While the Old Testament books are directed to the people of Israel, they also bear great significance for Christians who can decipher in Old Testament writings the gradual phases of God’s salvific plan. In The Old Testament in Light of the New: The Stages of God’s Plan by Stephen B. Clark, the author provides a comprehensive presentation of how and why the Old Testament forms part of the Christian Bible and offers a program for how to read the Old as a Christian – namely, in the light of the New.” [From the cover]

“Many Christians are perplexed about how to understand the relevance of the Old Testament to the Christian life. Stephen Clark has made a useful and ecumenically sensitive contribution to understanding this important issue.” Ralph Martin STD, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
