Bookroo's summary

Explore the intriguing links between Adam and Jesus, Eve and Mary, through vibrant illustrations. This book reveals how Old Testament events foreshadow New Testament stories, making biblical typology accessible for young readers. What hidden connections will you uncover?

From the publisher

What do Adam and Jesus have in common? What do Eve and Mary have in common? More than you think! With full color illustrations, Maura Roan McKeegan has brought to life biblical typology for children. Taking familiar biblical stories from the Old and New Testaments and placing them side by side, children can see biblical typology jump off the page. Biblical typology is when a person or an event in the Old Testament foreshadows a person or an event in the New Testament. The Bible is full of these fascinating “types.” Children can now discover similarities of types without any difficulty, and easily understand at an early age what St. Augustine meant when he said that the New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is revealed in the New. Recommended for ages 7 and up.
