The wisdom of God is revealed in both Old and New Testaments, but
it is impossible to appreciate that wisdom fully if the two are
read in isolation. Sometimes the New Testament quotes the Old as
authoritative. Sometimes it cancels things that the Old says. At
other times it indicates that the Old was a type that illustrates
New Testament doctrine. How are we to understand and apply its
teaching? Is the New Testament being arbitrary when it tells us how
to understand the Old, or do its careful interpretations show us
how the Old was meant to be understood? Could it be that the New
Testament's many different ways of using some of its passages
provide us with guidance for reading, studying and applying the
whole of the Old Testament? Drawing upon many years of biblical
research and teaching, Professor Gooding addresses these issues by
expounding key New Testament passages that use the Old Testament.
First he examines the importance of the general relationship of the
two testaments. He then considers five major thought categories of
the New Testament's interpretation that encompass the many insights
that it employs as tools for harvesting the wealth of the Old.
Finally he formulates guidelines for interpreting Old Testament
narrative and illustrates them from three familiar passages. Taken
together these insights provide invaluable help for appreciating
the richness of God's multifaceted wisdom, which has come down to
us as the revenue of all the ages. David W. Gooding is Professor
Emeritus of Old Testament Greek at Queen's University, Belfast and
a member of the Royal Irish Academy. His international teaching
ministry is marked by fresh and careful expositions of both
testaments. He has published scholarly studies on the Septuagint
and Old Testament narratives, as well as expositions of Luke, John
13-17, Acts and Hebrews.
