Episode 487: A Faith of Both Testaments, Part Four--The Prophets

When New Testament writers see details from the story of Jesus as "fulfillments" of the Hebrew prophets, should we think of them as predictions?

And how can it make us better Bible readers to know the original settings and contexts of those earlier writings when they are referenced or quoted by the New Testament? We'll explore these questions together in this episode of Crazy Faith Talk!
