A Key To The Old Testament by Henry Rutter is a practical devotional that offers a Catholic, patristic reading of Scripture. It argues that the Old Testament must be read in two senses: the literal sense and a hidden spiritual sense (allegorical, moral, anagogical) that points to Jesus Christ and the Church. Christ is presented as the end of the Law, with types and prophecies fulfilled in the New Testament, while cautioning against forced allegory. The book provides guiding rules for discovering Christ in Scripture, drawing on New Testament text, the Church Fathers, and tradition, tempered by reason and prayer. The canonical order is presented as received by the Catholic Church, with prefatory material, an Introduction on spiritual reading, and A Key To The Old Testament starting with Genesis and Exodus and continuing to Ruth (Part 1 of 4). Genesis and Exodus are treated typologically, e.g., Eve as the Church, Moses as a type of Christ, and the tabernacle as a symbol of heavenly realities and the Eucharist.
