    Does the New Testament fulfill the Old?

    Christians believe patterns in Scripture are featured as real phenomena involving persons and events that correspond and anticipate future fulfillment in similar, yet different persons and events. A Typologist studies how the New Testament fulfils the Old, holding that things in Christian belief and Gospels are prefigured or symbolized by things in the Old Testament.
