Lovely, like Jerusalem: The Fulfillment of the Old Testament in Christ and the Church

Overview

Ignorance of the Old Testament makes it impossible to comprehend the entire divine plan that stretches between the two Testaments. Highly-regarded spiritual writer and theologian Fr. Aidan Nichols shows how important it is to grasp that connection in order to understand better and to believe in the message and the person of Christ. Nichols maintains that we are ill-equipped to read and understand the great theologians, saints, and Scripture commentators of the Christian era without a deep familiarity with the Old Testament. Even understanding and appreciating the art of the Church remains limited if the Old Testament is a closed book for us. Nichols draws on studies by biblical experts from various Christian denominations—notably Evangelicals and Anglicans—in writing this widely-appealing work. He also taps into the wisdom of Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church to illuminate the beauty of the relationship between the Old and New Testaments.
