In this compact biblical theology Father Sabourin develops the Biblical themes which are common to both Testaments, assuring their unity regarding the notion of God. God's covenant and promise, and the people of God. He points up the christological prefigurement of the Old Testament in light of the New, as well as the Christward movement of salvation history. This involves an in-depth study of prophecy and the process of revelation. In the last chapter he shows how the reading of Scripture in successive generations has responded to this Christward movement of salvation history. This work reflects a mastery of relevant literature, which the author uses to formulate and to confirm his own insights of the Bible. The Bible and Christ will meet a need as an advanced introduction to the study of biblical theology.
