A wider, more lightly curated list of Hebrew-Bible passages that have been read as pointing to the Messiah — beyond the closely-edited core set. Each entry sets the fulfillment reading and the counter-reading side by side, notes how the New Testament uses the passage, and reaches no verdict.
This book list spans the whole section — the closely-edited core set together with the wider catalog — not just the catalog entries listed on this page.

Old Testament
These group the wider catalog by the kind of link the New Testament has to each passage: whether a New Testament author quotes it, alludes to it, echoes it, reads it typologically, or does not cite it at all. They name different kinds of literary relationship, not degrees of proof — an echo or an allusion is not a prediction, and a passage the New Testament never cites may still be read as messianic by later tradition. Unlike the category and book breakdowns, this view covers only the wider-catalog passages listed here: the closely-edited core set records the New Testament’s use passage by passage, in more detail than a single label allows.
