New Testament Use of Old Testament
"For Evangelicals, the Old Testament leads to the Gospel story. For Paul, the Old Testament is transformed by the Gospel. For Evangelicals, the Old Testament, read pretty much at face value, anticipates Jesus. For Paul, the Old Testament is reshaped in order to conform to Jesus. For Evangelicals, the Bible is God’s final authority. For Paul, Jesus is the final authority to which the Bible must bend." - Peter Enns |
