The Paschal Feast in the Bible
By P. Grelot and J. Pierron. From the introduction: "The purpose of this book is to open the eyes of Christians to the whole paschal scene, to the full mystery of our redemption which reaches back to the beginnings of the history of Israel. . . . The history of the Old Testament is the history of the people of God."
The Death of Jesus as Sacrifice
By Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., published in 1996 in the Josephinum Journal of Theology. Quote: "From my own reading of the biblical evidence, influenced by the work of many exegetes, I think it must be said that the idea of the death of the Redeemer as sacrifice is massively present in Holy Scripture....The New Testament does not permit us to view the Cross as an unfortunate accident contravening the plan of God. According to Peter's Pentecost sermon, reported in Acts 2:23, Jesus was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God."
