The Woman in Salvation History: Reflections of Mary in the Old Testament: Catholic for a Reason II

By examining numerous types, or models, particularly in the Old Testament, Curtis Mitch explores Mary’s presence in the Scriptures and shows how her role was foreshadowed both by objects and persons. Mitch also draws a link between the Old and New Testaments by explaining how Elizabeth’s words to Mary at the Visitation are full of historical and Biblical significance. Mary, as a fulfillment of the mysterious types contained in the Old Testament, reveals that God’s promises are always completed, often beyond our expectation or understanding.
