“Even as the ray is of the sun—for there would be no ray if the sun were not—the sun is never conceived as existing by itself without the ray of brightness that is shed from it. So the apostle delivered to us the continuity and eternity of that existence which the Only Begotten has of the Father, calling the Son ‘the brightness of God’s glory.’” (Page 10)
“Theodoret of Cyr states the difference: ‘For Moses gave the Old Testament but Christ the New, which was promised through the prophets of old. The former promised that Palestine would be given; the latter, the kingdom of heaven.’ Clement of Alexandria summarizes how the Scriptures are used to interpret Scripture.” (Pages 2–3)
“Two Edges, Two Testaments. Augustine: He did not come ‘to bring peace on earth … but a sword,’30 and Scripture calls the Word of God a ‘two-edged sword’ because of the two Testaments. City of God 20.21.” (Page 62)
“The different ways in which God spoke through the prophets announced a major theological theme in Hebrews, namely, the relation between the Old and New Testaments.” (Page 2)
“we have ahead of us a cloud of sad afflictions, which lead many who trust in Christ and die for him to honor,” (Page 209)
