Synopsis: Is the Old Testament still relevant for Christians today?
Which fountains of wisdom, which never-failing streams, which wells
of joy-filled salvation are we missing out on, if we neglect the
Old Testament (Prov 18:4; Amos 5:24; Isa 12:3)? In this celebratory
volume, fifteen scholars collaborate to explain and expound diverse
aspects of the Christian life, with a special focus on drawing
lines from the Old Testament through the New Testament toward the
daily reality of living together as pilgrims in the church of
Christ. This book commemorates the retirement of Dr. Cornelis Van
Dam, professor of Old Testament, from the Canadian Reformed
Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For three
decades, Dr. Van Dam taught seminary students to draw living water
from the wells of salvation. All the contributors to this book have
benefited in one way or another from his knowledge and instruction.
Endorsements: "The essays in this fine collection are a worthy
celebration of Cornelis Van Dam's many years of gifted Kingdom
service. And they also point us anew to that which inspired that
service: the Living Waters which alone can satisfy our thirsty
souls." -Richard J. Mouw President, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Honoring a scholar who continues to pursue integration between the
theological disciplines, this fine volume brings together deep
reflections with starting points at various locations in that
exciting space between the horizons of Scripture and culture. These
essays reveal the rich results of a reformed hermeneutic for the
life and mission of the church." -Mark J. Boda Professor of Old
Testament McMaster Divinity College "Dr. Cornelis Van Dam has given
so much to the churches of Jesus Christ in his teaching, writing,
preaching, and public speaking. This Festschrift written by fifteen
scholars is a wonderful tribute to a man who has given so much to
others. It covers a wide variety of topics that will interest
everyone from the theological scholar to the person in the pew."
-Richard Aasman Board of Governors Canadian Reformed Theological
Seminary Author Biography: Jason Van Vliet is Professor of
Dogmatics at the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary in
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He is the author of Children of God: The
Imago Dei in John Calvin and His Context (2009).
