Three Views on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (Counterpoints: Bible and Theology) by Kenneth Berding (PDF)

Description

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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐At times some heavy trudging through complex technical issues, but overall the text is still approachable. The contributors raise some interesting and thought provoking issues. In the end I thought that all three positions had merit.However, I found myself agreeing more frequently with Bock than Kaiser and Enns.Good book!

⭐Really really good. You need to be into this type of theological discussion in order to appreciate it. You need to have a solid theological background in order to process it. This is a needed resource for the serious bible student who already has a solid fatih.

⭐Great price! Fast delivery!

⭐the content of this book is critical to understanding the Bible. and the content is presented very thoughtfully and thoroughly by each contributor.

⭐Good book – mainly for a good intro to Walter Kaiser’s approach, which can be followed up with reading his books that deal with the subject in more detail, like *Uses of the Old Testament in the New*.

⭐Pretty dense theology- hard to grasp the nuances between the views, but I think it’s just the nature of the topic. Great introduction before the 3 views are presented to get the uninitiated up to speed. Great Scripture reference in the back- I’ll use it when I come across a passage that deals with this issue.

⭐All the positions were argued so well, and the editors clarified each position with further clarity, so that it was hard to pick a favorite viewm

⭐awesome!

⭐Good.
