What a shock when Christians encounter a Jewish mode of reading these same books. It is the “natural” way of understanding the Bible. To anyone who has grown up in a Christian-dominated culture this way of reading the Old Testament seems simply obvious. It tells of the loss of innocence in the Garden of Eden, a consequent history of human disobedience throughout the stories related in the narrative books, and a promise of coming redemption and salvation in the books of the prophets, leading naturally into the New Testament, where we learn how God’s planned rescue of the human race came to effect in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament story is about a disaster and a planned rescue mission, Paradise lost and Paradise regained. Christians think that the Old Testament tells a story, which goes on to find its completion in the New Testament.
