Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
For those want to be theologians Sophia Cavaletti threads together the history of Israel to the present day Christian, in the process of doing this she brings out the simplicity of understanding the Bible in terms that the beginner theologian can grasp. It is a must for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium!!! Thank you Sophia!

In tracing the history recounted in the Bible, Cavalletti makes use of a traditional method of interpretation - typology (prefiguring) - applied in a systematic way: Christological, sacramental, and ecclesial. This is tradition applied more clearly than I have seen before - and I read a great deal of material in the area. She applies this three-fold typology of creation, original sin, the flood, Abraham, Moses ... building a very solid foundation of Biblical and liturgical knowledge in an easy to understanding way. Along with way a variety of other Bible interpretation topics are explored - literary genre, document theory, form criticism - explored in sufficient detail to make the necessary points in language clear enough to be accessible to a very broad audience. This is truly a book to rave about.
