Abstract
In this paper, the researcher argues that the Biblia Pauperum was written for educating converted Jewish Christians in the late medieval period by analyzing the contemporary social and religious context as well as this book’s structure and content. To affirm Jesus as the predicted Messiah in the Hebrew Bible, friars used the typology directly connecting the narratives in the Old Testament to Jesus’ life and mission. In this research, the medieval people’s interpretation of the Bible and ways of theological thinking are investigated into. Even though this book was written for converted Jewish Christian in the late medieval ages, this book provides insight and perspective for today’s Christian education. Because this paper is the first about late medieval picture bibles, it provides a sort of provisional and introductory research for extended research in the future, particularly with regards to applications concerning contemporary Christian education, church history, and literature.
