Many Protestants would argue no. And if you point out that there is a priesthood in the Old Testament, they are likely to say it was a feature of the Old Covenant that was undone by Christ. How should a Catholic respond?In Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood, biblical scholar John Bergsma convinces readers that Jesus did, in fact, intend for a ministerial priesthood to be a key feature of the New Covenant.Bergsma shows how the priesthood is a major thread holding together the biblical story line-beginning with Adams loss of the gift of priesthood in the Fall and the long process of restoring his descendants to a priestly status over the centuries, culminating with Christ.With chapter summaries and discussion questions included, Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood can readily be adapted into a four-part study for personal or small group use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52098431353120,"sku":"NEW1645850730","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81fR3P2YmbL.jpg?v=1785792981","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/jesus-and-the-old-testament-roots-of-the-priesthood-1645850730","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
