PBC - The Jewish People and Their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible
This document, published in May 2001 by the Pontifical Biblical Commission, with preface by Cardinal Ratzinger, underlines the Church’s traditional teaching on the harmony between Old and New Testaments, and examines implications for the relationship between Christians and Jews. AUTHORITY INSPIRATION CANON JUDAISM TRADITION EXEGESIS QUMRAN RABBINIC REVELATION HUMAN PERSON ELECTION COVENANT LAW ANTISEMITISM [CURIA Code=EE]


here is the link for the preceding document, at the EWTN document library website:

ewtn.com/library/CURIA/PBCJWSCR.HTM

I have to read this document slowly to digest all the information. It’s a very thorough document showing the connections (“the harmony”) between the OT and the NT.

“Savior” in the OT, “Savior” in the NT
":covenant " in the OT, “covenant” in the NT
“new covenant” in the OT, “new covenant” in the NT
prayer (OT) vs prayer (NT)

etc. Temple, liturgy, spirituality, Law,

The Pontifical Biblical Commission spent years putting this together, and the results are first class. There are tons of scripture references and hundreds of footnotes, to underpin the various observations they make.

There are strong linkages between the OT and NT writings; the NT is dependent on the OT (notice they’re BOTH in “the Bible”).

God still has a covenant with the “chosen people”

This document is free for download. I burned it on a CD had it printed at a local print shop for around $8.

There are numerous typographical errors in the current document, which I have submitted to EWTN at viewer@ewtn.com.
