Excerpt from Practical Reflections Upon Every Verse of the Book of Genesis

No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.'2 And they show that the Saviour's own way of expounding the Old Testament was to point out in it 'the things concerning Himself.' This was the way in which 'those wonderful interpreters of Holy Scripture, the ancient Fathers and teachers of the Church,'3 explained it. This was S. Augustine's principle of interpretation: 'the New Testament lies enfolded in the Old, the Old Testafi ment is unfolded in the New.'
