Alter: Introduction to the Old Testament

Revision as of 08:21, 5 October 2020 by Dubbayou2 (talk | contribs) (→‎p.11.1)

p.11.1

Alter wrestles with a name for the Old Testament. Jesus and the New Testament authors simply calls it 'scripture' [1]. The reason that it's use is not popular is that it causes confusion with the desire to call the New Testament 'scripture'. This is purely an invented problem.

The Old Testament is scripture, and the New Testament is a 'pesher' [2] or interpretation of it in light of the mystery hidden from the beginning being revealed in Christ and the cross. All New Testament teaching has a source in the Old. This does not denigrate the New testament in any way, but elevates it at as the proper interpretation of 'scripture' by those who would know: Jesus and his disciples.
  1. ↑ Mr 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
  2. ↑ Pesher has a bad connotation in Christian circles because the rabbis do such a bad job of it. But jeeus and the apostles did it correctly, and it is from them that we get our cues.
