Description: How, if at all, is the New Testament related to the Old? Does the traditional view of the Old Testament as promise and the New Testament as fulfillment still hold? Why are religious services organized so that there are readings from both the Old and the New Testaments? How can we understand the relationship between the testaments in a way that celebrates the similarities and differences between Jews and Christians?
