Sacraments in Scripture : Salvation History Made Present

Sacraments in Scripture: Salvation History Made Present is a Bible study on the seven sacraments, prefigured in the Old Testament and instituted by Jesus Christ in the New.

Following the teaching of the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church on Sacred Scripture, Tim Gray delves into the biblical origin of each of these masterpieces of God's love. In Sacraments in Scripture, Tim Gray guides readers through the Gospels, showing Christ's deliberate acts that inaugurated these sacred signs as the foundation of the New Covenant.

With review questions at the end of each chapter, Sacraments in Scripture is ideal for both group and individual study and is perfect for instructing Catholics how to answer contemporary objections to the sacraments.
