    He is fantastic. Irenaeus will make the Old Testament more exciting ...
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2015*

“[Jesus] gloriously accomplished our salvation and fulfilled the promise made to the patriarchs…recapitulating these [types] in Himself, in order to obtain life for us, “the Word of God became flesh”…in order to undo death and vivify man.”  -Irenaeus, On the Apostolic PreachingWho was Irenaeus?Irenaeus was basically the Luke Skywalker of the Early Church: Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp, Polycarp was a disciple of John, and John was a disciple of Jesus.He is fantastic. Irenaeus will make the Old Testament more exciting than the New Testament. By proxy, the New Testament will become even more exciting than it was before, and the never-ending feedback loop will keep growing until you die—and see the real thing.The Angry God of the Old Testament?“Why is the God of the Old Testament so angry?” We’ve probably heard that question asked, and it was the first controversy in the 2nd century of the Church. Is the God of the Old Testament different than the God of the New Testament? No.Types & ShadowsWhat is so significant about the flawed Patriarchs? Adam eats the forbidden fruit, Noah gets drunk, Abraham lies, Moses kills a man, David kills a man and sleeps with his wife, and the Prophets weren’t perfect either (see Jonah).“Prefiguring” the Messiah “Anointed One”Yet, according to Irenaeus, all of the Patriarch “prefigure” the coming Messiah. The word Messiah means “anointed one”, and many of the Patriarch’s were referred to as messiahs “anointed ones”.A Tale of Two TreesThe Old Testament is a Tale of Two Trees. The first tree brought the curse, through the sin of the first Adam; the second tree bore the curse, through the righteousness of the second Adam; the first Adam was the first created son of God who was man, the second Adam was the second begotten Son of God who became man. Through the fruit of the first tree, the first Adam became naked, and through the fruitlessness of the second tree, the second Adam was naked. The first Adam lost Life and was kicked out of the Garden, the second Adam gained Life and was resurrected in a new Garden.Recapitulation!One of the most exciting words Irenaeus introduces is recapitulation!Recapitulation is when Christ “redo’s in order to undo”.In essence, “He who knew no sin, became sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God.”The Old Testament: A Portrait of JesusIf Jesus had a portrait it would be Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, Moses, David, Joseph, Adam, all crammed into one canvas, called the Old Testament. Even more so, the Tabernacle, the Passover, the ceremonies, and every minute detail is a prefigured image of the Messiah.Nothing is unessential, no ceremonial cleansing, no bread of presence, no Jewish holiday, no minor skirmish, no lamp-stand, no sacrificial law, no minor character is unimportant in this massive portrait of the Christ.He is the Tabernacle; He is the Passover Lamb; He is the Son of God; He is the King; He is the true Prophet; He is the Temple; He is the true Manna; He is the Law; He is Isaac’s Ram; He is the Second Adam; He is the true Moses; He is the true David; He is the true Daniel; He is the true Priest; He is the true Aaron; He is the true Solomon; He is the true Suffering Job.

    The correct way to preach the gospel of Christ begins with the Old Testament...
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2016*

Here's precisely how the Apostles preached the gospel FROM the Old Testament.. and with tie-ins to the NT. Because this is a very early church father (Irenaeus), we don't get an "interpretation" from some "scholar", but the actual interpretation of the ancient unified church of Christ (not the denomination -- the real one). This is precisely why "sola scriptura" is the single most dangerous doctrine in the Christian world, for without the interpretation of the actual church itself, false doctrines are brought forth while the truth is unwittingly set aside. We clearly see the ancient unified church never taught anything like a "sinner's prayer" or somehow receiving the Holy Spirit outside of being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (by His authority) into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We see the Holy Eucharist, the divine liturgy (not a Roman mass), and all of the things that the true church of Christ (hard to find these days) actually did -- and WHY they did it -- all bolstered by Holy Scripture correctly interpreted.
