The Early Church read the Scriptures with the conviction that (in the words of St. Augustine), “The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New.” Drawing inspiration from how both the Apostles and Christ himself read the Old Covenant as referring to the New (cf. Luke 24:27, 1 Peter 3:20–21, 1 Corinthians 10:1–5), the Church found the Old Testament to be rich with figures, or “types,” that foreshadowed both the mysteries of the life of Christ and the mysteries, or sacraments, of the New Covenant. And yet, in modern times the study of types (or “typology”) has been largely abandoned by scholars due to the dangers of subjectivity and exaggeration. How can typology be studied in a way that is objective and that avoids the excesses present in the past? Fr. Devin Roza seeks to offer a solution to these difficulties by asking the question, “According to the Scriptures and the living Tradition of the Church, what are the types and symbols of the sacraments and what do they mean?” As authorized representatives of the living Tradition, the Liturgy (including the readings from the Church Fathers) and the Catechism, together with the Scriptures, offer both the scholar and pastor the opportunity to study typology as the Catholic Church herself understands and prays it today, in those texts the Church considers her own. Fulfilled in Christ thus offers a comprehensive and readable summary of references to types and symbols of the sacraments in the Scriptures and the living Tradition of the Church, as represented by the Liturgy and the Catechism. The result is a highly objective, scholarly, and at the same time pastoral study of how the Church understands and lives the types and symbols of the sacraments today.

In "Symbolism in Religious Texts: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas," readers are invited on a comprehensive journey through the fascinating world of symbolic language as it appears in faith traditions across the globe. The book thoughtfully introduces the foundations of symbolism, explaining the nature, function, and diverse forms symbols take within religious contexts. By contrasting symbolic interpretation with literalism, and illuminating common symbolic themes, the guide empowers readers to unlock the deeper layers of meaning embedded in sacred texts. Tracing the historical evolution of religious symbolism, the book examines how ancient traditions, mythology, and oral storytelling bequeathed rich symbolic legacies to succeeding generations. Readers explore both unique and shared symbols across the Abrahamic and Eastern religions, discovering the profound significance of such icons as water, light, numbers, animals, and sacred spaces. Vivid examples from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism highlight how these traditions both use and transform symbols in their texts, rituals, and narratives. Beyond cataloguing symbols, the guide delves into the literary techniques—including metaphor, allegory, parable, and imagery—that give religious language its enduring expressive power. The final chapters connect ancient symbolism to contemporary life, outlining modern methods of interpretation, the creative migration of symbols into art and culture, and ongoing debates surrounding their meaning. With clear explanations and comparative insights, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of religious symbolism—whether for study, teaching, or personal reflection.

Given the extraordinary richness and range of contemporary theology, questions about the authority and inspiration of the Bible tend to garner ever increasing variety, complexity and controversy. Among those challenges include the questions posed by biblical criticism to the enterprise of Christian theology, and the place of scripture in the life of the contemporary church. Employing a range of conversation partners, this book will provide an up-to-date survey of the diverse ways in which contemporary theologians use the Bible 'to think with'. The volume enables students to compare different approaches to the reading of scripture. It also explores the ways in which the theological interpretation of scripture can be both a critical and a spiritual exercise.

Science has its own language; the arts have another. Religion uses especially the language of the arts, for it uses signs and symbols, like bridges from the visible to the invisible, from the depths to the heights, from the earthly world to the heavenly one, from humanity to God. The symbol is not an object of worship, but invites to worship. It leads to the encounter with the divine. Its language takes an object or an action and from it evokes something other, which is often inexpressible, by virtue of some correspondence, natural association, or convention.--From publisher description.
