Question 63


Modern Adaptation

Question: What did these sacrifices represent?

Answer: Christ as the Lamb of God, who would die for sinners.


Traditional Formulation

Question: What did these sacrifices represent?

Answer: Christ, the Lamb of God, who was to die for sinners.


Adaptation Commentary

We include the “as” to highlight the representation pointing at Christ’s role specifically. Additinally, “was to” is a little awkward, so we change it to simply “would”.
