Jesus and the Divine Name
The Church noticed long ago that St. John remarkably captures Jesus using the phrase “I am”, either with a predicate noun or without, twenty-three times, almost twice as many times as the other three gospels combined, in any context.
The Hilasterion
Pope Benedict XVI insisted on a Christological reading of the Hebrew Scriptures, and in so doing, gave us an enriched understanding of Jesus Christ and our redemption through study of the worship and sacrifice of the Old Testament.
