Here's a helpful quote from Drew in the first few paragraphs... similar to something I said some weeks back: "Paul used the Old Testament masterfully. The Jewish scriptures were his only text, and he employed them repeatedly and at great length in the defense of the gospel. In Thessalonica he spoke all day for three Sabbaths in a row, in Ephesus he argued daily for three months, and in Corinth he spoke on every Sabbath for one and a half years. Rome heard him daily 'from morning to night' for two years, roughly five thousand hours of Old Testament teaching on Christ. Paul emulated his Master. Jesus told his enemies that the 'scriptures...bear witness to me.' On Resurrection Sunday Jesus transformed two forlorn disciples along the Emmaus road, firing their hearts with the truth that 'all the scriptures' spoke of his suffering and glory." -- Charles Drew, The Ancient Love Song, p. x The Bereans scoured the Old Testament to see if what the apostles said about "the Christ" was true.
