Publisher's Synopsis
Christians live under the New Covenant, the Law of Christ, not the Old Testament Law. What then do we glean from a study of Genesis? A history lesson about the fall of man? A set of cautionary tales? Or is there more? Revealed in the New: Genesis looks at key stories from Genesis through the lens of the New Testament. If we have the beginning of a story about God's relationship with mankind in Genesis, do we also know how the story ends? Is there justice for the serpent's crime, and forgiveness for Adam and Eve's sin? How does the story of Cain and Abel, set against the story of Adam and Eve, show us what God valued from the very beginning? What does the story of Noah have to do with the end of the world? What did the New Testament writers have to say about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph? This book looks in detail at these and other insights into Genesis that are revealed in the New Testament. As Augustine of Hippo observed: "The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed."
