/lit/ - Literature

I dunno where else to ask this
I read a sci-fantasy book called Fall of Hyperion and the sequel talks about Judaism a lot, but I want to apply this to Christianity
The idea is that the Human race’s relationship with God has changed over time, like the relationship of a parent and child changes as the child grows older
So before Jesus came we were kids who needed to be punished/kept in line with sacrifices and harsh OT justice
Then Jesus came and we became closer to God, and are now teenagers/young adults going through puberty.
And eventually when Jesus returns we’ll be adults
Is there anyone who’s written in depth about this?
