CHRIST & THE SCRIPTURES - Adolph Saphir

 My Review of Christ & The Scriptures


Ordinarily, Christians shine the spotlight of the New Testament on the Old Testament to illuminate the meaning of the law, the prophets and their procrastinations. Though not
disagreeing with this, Saphir effectively uses a sonar ping to form a full outline of Christ in both Testaments. 

The Old Testament is pregnant with Christ and gives birth to Jesus in the New. Saphir’s theological ultrasound is the deep calling to deep, a system of Scriptural echoes that builds the true picture of Christ as revealed in the whole Bible. The pregnant pauses, the spaces, between each punctiliar ping causes the mind to reflect momentarily, to think God’s thoughts after Him, as Christ is formed in us. 

Christ is the true image of God, the revelation of God. Scripture is the mirror in which we look to see Christ.
