OT in the NT

Jim Hamilton posts the audio of an excellent panel discussion at SBTS on the use of the OT in the NT. Includes good discussion on typology and allegory. Hamilton's discussion are worth listening to of themselves.

(Yes, I'm back and currently operating at 85% health wise. Thank you for all your prayers and concerns. My family and I appreciate it. I'm still taking things easy though and resting much).

OT and the NT

I found this quote from Peter Stuhlmacher about the OT and the NT (with an inelegant English translation):

Das Zeugnis des Alten Testaments von der Wirklichkeit und dem Wirken des einen Gottes wird im neuen Testament aufgenommen und christologisch präzisiert: Der eine Gott ist der Vater Jesu Christi, und der Christus Jesus ist der Sohn des lebendigen Gottes, der die basileia tou theou so repräsentiert, bis er sie durch die Parusie und mittels des ihn übertragegen Weltgerichts vollends aufgerichtet hat.

The testimony of the Old Testament from the reality and the workings of the one God in the New Testament is recorded and christologically clarified: The one God is the father of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, he so represents the basileia tou theou until his Parousia and with the final judgment of the world where it is fully established.

The OT in the NT

Greg Beale and Don Carson have edited a volume on how each book of the NT interprets and handles the OT. It is available from Baker and the blurb reads:

Readers of the New Testament often encounter quotes or allusions to Old Testament stories and prophecies that are unfamiliar or obscure. In order to fully understand the teachings of Jesus and his followers, it is important to understand the large body of Scripture that preceded and informed their thinking. Leading evangelical scholars G. K. Beale and D. A. Carson have brought together a distinguished team of scholars to provide readers with a comprehensive commentary on every quotation, allusion, and echo of the Old Testament that appears from Matthew through Revelation. College and seminary students, pastors, scholars, and interested lay readers will want to add this unique commentary to their reference libraries.
