The Old and the New: Christ as the Center of Both Testaments

by Laurent Clemenceau, Damon Dimauro (Translator)

Overview

In a highly accessible way, The Old and the New is a call for Christians to discover—or rediscover—the richness of the Bible through a study of the links that unite the Old and the New Testaments, which Pastor Laurent Clémenceau shows as the heart of the message of the early witnesses of the gospel and of Christian faith today. In doing so, the author invites readers to discover how the Bible presents the identity and work of Jesus Christ that, as Blaise Pascal wrote, “lie at the center of both Testaments—the Old as its expectation, the New as its model.” It is a call to contemplation, witness, and celebration!
