The Old Testament background to Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection (Suffering Servant and Discipleship)
Fr. Michael Patella, OSB
When the earliest Christian missionaries went forth to proclaim the Good News of Christ, they did so by drawing on Sacred Scripture. Their Gospel proclamation of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection, was for the early Church, the culmination of the law, prophets, and writings found within the Old Testament. By using the images of The Saint John's Bible, Father Michael Patella will present the Old Testament background to the paschal mystery in order that we may come to understand what we know as well as know better what we believe.
Father Michael Patella, OSB, was the chair of the Committee on Illumination and Text |
