Pastor-scholar helping students read Scripture as one story centered on Christ—careful with the text, warm in devotion, and rich in application.
How did Jesus and the apostles read the Old Testament? Learn quotations, allusions, and echoes; practice typology and promise-fulfillment; and develop sound intertextual skills for Christ-centered exegesis.
Identify explicit citations and subtle allusions the NT makes to the OT.
Hear thematic echoes and narrative patterns that link the Testaments.
Trace persons, events, and institutions that prefigure Christ and the church.
Follow how OT promises reach their climax in Jesus and the new covenant.
Apply rigorous yet devotional methods for intertextual interpretation.
Practice with key passages in the Gospels, Paul, Hebrews, and Revelation.
Definitions, categories (quotation, allusion, echo), and how the NT authors signal OT usage.
Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets; Emmanuel, Son of David, new Exodus motifs.
Abrahamic promise, righteousness by faith, Adam-Christ typology, and Scripture in mission.
Priesthood and temple typology in Hebrews; Exodus, kingdom, and prophetic imagery in Revelation.
