    May 12 2026

    Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) gives us one of the first historical treatments of the life of Jesus in his pioneering book (1906) that reviews all prior work on the question of the "historical Jesus" and points out how Jesus of Nazareth's image has changed with the times—while offering his own synopsis and interpretation in this seminal work of biblical criticism.

  • Does the New Testament fulfill the Old?
    May 11 2026

    Christians believe patterns in Scripture are featured as real phenomena involving persons and events that correspond and anticipate future fulfillment in similar, yet different persons and events. A Typologist studies how the New Testament fulfils the Old, holding that things in Christian belief and Gospels are prefigured or symbolized by things in the Old Testament. E204.

  • Typology
    May 11 2026

    Does the New Testament fulfill the Old? Typological patterns in Scripture are featured as real phenomena involving persons and events that correspond and anticipate future fulfillment in similar, yet different persons and events. Typology describes a certain approach to reading the Bible based on a doctrine of theological types employing the study of, analysis, or classification based on categories. A Typologist studies how the New Testament foreshadows the Old, holding that things in Christian belief and Gospels are prefigured or symbolized by things in the Old Testament, in a sense, created to serve as prefigured shapes of what Christ would do. E203.
