About this listen
In this episode of Theology Unpacked, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores how Old Testament prophecies, originally intended for their own time, were reinterpreted by later readers—especially early Christians—as foretelling events like the coming of Jesus.
This reinterpretation, guided by the belief in divine inspiration, became a key part of how early Christian communities began forming doctrine. It marks the first steps from narrative prophecy toward structured theological belief.
