Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we are going to answer the question: is the whole Bible really about Jesus?
And we don't like to bury the lead here at Theocast, and so, our position is that, yes, in fact, the whole Bible is about Christ and what He has accomplished on behalf of sinners in order to save us.
And so, we're going to have this conversation from a couple of different perspectives.
We're going to talk about typology and how that works in the Bible.
And if you don't even know what typology is, don't worry.
We're going to define it and try to explain it for you.
We're also going to talk about biblicism and how it is unhelpful to understanding the scriptures accurately.
Again, if you don't know what biblicism is, stay tuned.
We're going to try to explain it to you and help you see how it relates to this conversation.
We really hope this is an encouraging and life-giving conversation for you and that it's a conversation that will open up the scriptures and show you how from Genesis to Revelation, Jesus really is the point of the whole thing.
And yeah, here we go.

Thanks for listening.
Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a Reformed and pastoral perspective, your hosts today are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reformed Church in beautiful Spring Hill, Tennessee.
And I am Justin Prue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, also a very beautiful place.
We've been saying lately, John, that not only are these conversations from a reform perspective, but they're also from a pastoral one, and that's for a few reasons, right?
We're pastors, we're not academics, and we aim to talk about these things in a way that is, we hope, gentle, encouraging, and helpful to weary Christians out there, right?
