| Résumé : |
Based on his many years of studying and teaching the Old Testament, this book, Toward Rediscovering the Old Testament, is the third in Dr. Kaiser's trilogy of books on topics in the Old Testament (the other two being Toward an Old Testament Theology and Toward Old Testament Ethics).
Toward Rediscovering the Old Testament brings together in one volume some significant issues that Evangelicals must wrestle with. The author, a recognized scholar and leader in the academic Evangelical world, gives an up-to-date, concise, and challenging presentation of several major areas of Old Testament study. Going beyond merely defining and describing them, he also proposes models and solutions for some age-old dilemmas. Here are just some of the more than two dozen major questions that are discussed: - What makes the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament authoritative for the church? - How much continuity and discontinuity is there between the Old and New Testaments? - Did the Old Testament writers consciously anticipate the Messiah? - Was the object and method of salvation the same in both Testaments? - What was the Old Testament believer's experience of the Holy Spirit? - How can Christians derive principles from the specific commands of the Mosaic Law? - How can Christians teach or preach from the prophetic portions of the Old Testament? - What is the challenge of the Old Testament for missions? According to Dr. Kaiser, understanding the Old Testament is the crucial problem for the Christian, a premise he develops in the first chapter. Hardly an area in the Christian life, Christian doctrine, and biblical studies is not affected by one's understanding of the Old Testament. This book is a forceful demonstration of that truth. It deals with some of the crucial topics necessary to a proper and practical interpretation and application of the Old Testament and discusses them in three parts: (1) The Old Testament and Scholarship, (2) The Old Testament and Theology, and (3) The Old Testament and Life. |
