Theology of the Old Testament (SPCK Old Testament Introduction)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The third and final volume of the Old Testament Introduction series reminds us that all that happened in Old Testament was a preparation for Christ. Hinson shows how the study of Old Testament theology helps us to understand the New Testament more clearly and benefit more fully from God's revelation. Theology of the Old Testament communicates the eternal plan of God while taking into account the developments in biblical scholarship and changes in the modern world.
Top Highlights
“The real reason for so many covenants was that at each stage in the life of Israel God offered a relationship which people were capable of understanding, and accepting at that time. Each covenant expressed something more of God’s purposes. Each one challenged the people to a deeper response and a fuller relationship with him and with each other.” (Page 112)
“Revelation is the process by which God actually gives people new knowledge and new understanding.” (Page 5)
“Inspiration is the process by which God stimulates people to think fresh thoughts, and to seek new understanding. He does this in many different ways, but always people must be willing to respond and to search out the significance of their new experience of God.” (Page 5)
“Jeremiah was the prophet who recognized that humans are unable to change their ways and become righteous simply by deciding to do so. But he also recognized that God was preparing to do something new to enable people to serve him.” (Page 116)
“and promised blessings for all peoples in time to come” (Page 113)
