Some things simply matter more than others. In the eternal scheme of things, the Lord's system of salvation is the most profound and important truth for us to know and understand. Central to that plan is the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. His death, burial, and Resurrection constitute the "fundamental principles of our religion" (*Joseph Smith, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith* [2007], 49).
Those fundamental truths are illustrated in the ancient texts of the Old Testament through types and shadows. Religious scholars Patrick D. Degn and David S. Christensen skillfully complement them with other restoration scriptures and teachings from modern-day prophets to apply these truths to us today. Each chapter is tied to specific books and stories of the Old Testament, making it a helpful resource for Gospel Doctrine teachers as well as anyone who wants to better understand the plan of salvation and the Old Testament.
