Types and Shadows and Interesting Old Testament Parallels


Book Description

The Old Testament "stories" about Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Rahab are about real men and women.

Types are Old Testament people, events, items, and ceremonies that foreshadow the coming Messiah and His church. In this study you will embark on a journey of discovery to see what might be learned about Jesus Christ, His church, and God's plan for redemption which were hidden in the pages of the Old Testament to later be revealed in the coming Savior.

In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: God is arrogant and jealous God punishes people too harshly God is guilty of ethnic cleansing God oppresses women God endorses slavery Christianity causes violence and more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.

Shadows of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament


Book Description

For those who find The Old Testament difficult to comprehend will inevitably find the thorough interpretation of The King James Authorised Version a far better read. Although Jesus Christ does not appear in the Old Testament, we can see how he is represented even before his time. This book contains many examples which are translated for the modern Christian and may encourage you to search for the true meaning of the scriptures yourself. We learn, for example, how the lives of Joseph and Jesus ran parallel even though they lived at different times; how they were betrayed and sold to the hands of their enemies.
