![]() The target age is 5-10, and I found this spot on for my own children: it went over my 4 year olds head mostly, but my 6 and 8 year olds loved it and kept interrupting to restate the connections. I believe they’ll awaken an interest in Biblical typology and scriptural exegesis in many children. These simple picture books really provide an amazing opportunity for early catechesis.

An Important Catechesis ![]() You’ll learn how the centuries of Passover sacrifice was conditioning the Jews to understand Jesus as the Paschal lamb that must be slain to save the people. You’ll understand the Gospel of Matthew better: why Matthew, the learned Jew, was so excited about Jesus’ fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. You’ll be crying out in surprise with your kids as the amazing parallels unfold. The parallel placement of the text with carefully selected similar meter and diction really brings home to children the parallels. On each page, you’ll read a paragraph about Moses, then a paragraph about Jesus. In Saved by the Lamb, McKeegan traces Moses’ life and the events of Passover. Saved by the Lamb: how Moses foreshadows Jesus In McKeegan’s Old and New Series, of which Saved by the Lamb is the fourth volume, you and your children can see how Old Testament figures like Jonah, Adam, and Moses are types of Christ.

Now, with the Old and New series of picture books, you can teach your 5-10 year olds about typology as they become familiar with Bible stories. As a well-catechized, homeschooled cradle Catholic, I couldn’t believe I had never learned about all the amazing parallels between the Old and New Testament. Like author Maura McKeegan, I discovered Biblical typology in college and was utterly fascinated. ![]() You can buy this gorgeous and grace-filled picture book through my Amazon affiliate link, How the Angels Got Their Wings, or from publisher Sophia Institute Press.
