Jacques Blandenier embarks on a process of biblical theology which presents different themes of the Old Testament based on Christ and the New Testament's reading of the Old. To do this, he overcomes obstacles and ventures into an original and valuable approach for today's Christians.
In the debate on the Christian interpretation of the Old Testament, the author values both continuity and discontinuity, notably by resorting to the typological reading (type and anti-type) and the two poles of promise-fulfillment. In terms of hermeneutics, this book pleads for taking into account the distance that separates us from the text and for what the author calls a "contextualization" of the biblical given.
