Three approaches to questions about the theological connection
between the Old and New Testaments. The relationship between the
Testaments is not as simple and straightforward as it sometimes
appears. When New Testament authors appeal to Old Testament texts
to support their arguments, what is the relationship between their
meanings and what was originally intended by their Old Testament
forebears? Leading biblical scholars Walter Kaiser, Darrel Bock,
and Peter Enns present their answers to questions about the use of
the Old Testament in the New Testament, addressing elements such
as: Divine and human authorial intent. Context of passages.
Historical and cultural considerations. The theological grounds for
different interpretive methods. Each author applies his framework
to specific texts so that readers can see how their methods work
out in practice. Each contributor also receives a thorough critique
from the other two authors. Three Views on the New Testament Use of
Old Testament gives readers the tools they need to develop their
own views on the meaning, contexts, and goals behind the New
Testament citations of the Old. The Counterpoints series presents a
comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to
Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical
text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to
evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their
own, educated opinion.
