You’re listening to Branch 2 – Prophecy and Promise, Part 3: The Promise of the Saviour. This is Episode 2: Salvation History: Promise and Rescue

In this episode of Theology Unpacked, Dr John Moffatt SJ highlights key narratives of rescue from the Tanach, beginning with God’s covenant promise to Abraham. It traces the covenant at Sinai, where Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and seals the bond with God through law and sacrifice.

The episode then connects these promises to Christian tradition, showing how the songs of Zechariah and Elizabeth recall Abraham’s covenant, while the Eucharistic words of Jesus at the Last Supper renew and reinterpret the covenant of Moses as a new promise of Salvation.
