This book addresses a topic of vital concern to the church: How
does the ancient biblical text speak to us today? Michael Graves,
an expert in ancient exegesis, describes how Old Testament texts
interpret earlier Old Testament traditions, explores New Testament
reception, and explains how insights from this process translate
into present-day biblical interpretation. Graves clearly explains
and illustrates this approach with fulsome discussions of five
themes that are addressed in various ways in the Bible: personal
responsibility; sacrificial offerings; insiders and outsiders;
marriage, polygamy, and divorce; and the afterlife. By attending to
the way these topics are addressed throughout the entire biblical
witness, we become better interpreters and teachers who are more
adept at discerning the Bible's teaching on these topics and others
for our modern world.
