What do the Old and New Testaments have in common? To answer this
question, Maura Roan McKeegan presents biblical typology for children.
Taking familiar stories from the Old and New Testaments and placing them
side by side, children can easily understand at an early age what St.
Augustine meant when he said that “the New Testament lies hidden in the
Old and the Old Testament is revealed in the New.”
What do Jonah and Jesus have in common?
More than you think!
In this delightfully illustrated children’s book, Maura Roan McKeegan
tells the story of Jonah and Jesus. Both were given special missions by
God. And both have something very important to teach about obedience to
His plan.
See biblical typology—the Old Testament people, symbols, and events that foreshadow the New Testament—come to life in Into the Sea, Out of the Tomb: Jonah and Jesus.
