Overview
You are in a discussion with a Christian who tells you that the Old Testament is not really essential to understanding the story of Jesus Christ. Utilizing the lessons we have learned from this course, how would you respond to this claim? In your response, cite the placement of scripture readings at a Catholic Sunday Mass (and in a mainline Christian service, for that matter), the typologies from the Old Testament, etc.
Make sure your answer references the difference between the perception of a "Messiah" in the Old Testament vs. the New and Paragraph #140 of the Catechism.
