Is it possible that the Apostle Paul intentionally organized his letter to the Romans according to the topical outline of Leviticus? Bob O’Dell contends that Paul not only did that with Romans, but also with his other letters. That’s why he and his colleagues are publishing The Echoes Bible as a multivolume study tool to uncover these New Testament connections with the Torah! We dive into those echoes of Leviticus and Romans in this second of our five-part conversation.
One well-known echo in scripture is Yeshua’s reference in John 3 to the Bronze Serpent of Numbers 21. Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate the wider and deeper meanings of that connection in their midrash, “Out of the Mouths of Snakes.” It’s really a matter of how we get along with others, as we hear in the music of Solomon Lopez and Will Spires.
There are currently three volumes of The Echoes Bible in print: Leviticus & Romans, Numbers & 1 Corinthians, and Deuteronomy & 2 Corinthians. More are on the way! To learn more and to purchase The Echoes Bible volumes, visit https://www.echoesbible.com/.
