There is\u003cbr\u003eno revelation in the gospels or the epistles which is not in its essence\u003cbr\u003econtained in the elder Scripture; though to make it manifest required\u003cbr\u003ethe incarnation of God's Son and the descent of the Holy Spirit.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, to understand the New Testament it is necessary to study the\u003cbr\u003eOld Testament. We cannot appreciate Matthew's point of view of Christ as\u003cbr\u003ethe Messiah until we have looked upon the throne of David, and Solomon\u003cbr\u003ein all his glory; the theology of Paul is blind until read in the light\u003cbr\u003eof Moses and Isaiah; and Hebrews will obtain a new meaning when placed\u003cbr\u003eside by side with Leviticus. Every chapter in the New Testament has its\u003cbr\u003ereferences to parallel passages in the Old Testament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen we open the Old Testament we find it, first of all, a book of\u003cbr\u003ehistory. We are apt to look upon the Bible as a dictionary of doctrine,\u003cbr\u003ewherein we are to search for sentences as proof-texts. But instead it\u003cbr\u003econtains the story of redemption in the form of a history. We see how\u003cbr\u003eGod chose a family and pruned off its dead branches and caused it to\u003cbr\u003egrow into a nation; then, how he trained and disciplined that nation\u003cbr\u003ethrough fifteen centuries, until upon it blossomed the Divine Man. The\u003cbr\u003ehistory of the Bible is the history of humanity, of literature, of\u003cbr\u003eethics, of religion, of doctrine; and no one who studies it carefully\u003cbr\u003ewill fail of an abundant reward for his endeavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn most works upon Bible history the purpose of the author seems to be\u003cbr\u003emerely to arrange in chronological order a series of events without much\u003cbr\u003eregard to their importance or their relations to each other. The\u003cbr\u003esuccessive reigns of kings, the chronicles of courts, the reports of\u003cbr\u003ebattles form the contents of most histories, whether sacred or secular.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079074201840,"sku":"2940012974617","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012974617_p0.jpg?v=1763575042","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012974617","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
