Traditionally the author of the Pentateuch, Moses is one of the most important figures in the Old Testament and in all of history. His encounter with God in the burning bush, the 10 plagues and first Passover, the parting of the Red Sea, and the reception of the Ten Commandments are stories that are familiar to Christians and non-Christians alike.

In this volume, John H. Paton delves into the typology of the Pentateuch and how the major figures and events in Genesis and Exodus prefigure Christ and his saving work. In examining these typological connections, he draws out the theme of God’s loving plan of redemption that is woven throughout Scripture.
