Does this help anyone one. I used it for a small group study on Wed. nights. The Old Testament in The New Testament: Study Guide Our purpose for this study is to help us grow in the knowledge and the grace of our Lord Jesus, by teaching us to properly interpret and apply God’s Word to our lives. In the process we will actually study hermeneutics and exegesis in an informal way, asking the Lord to increase our love for Him and His word and comprehending His truth in a clearer and more meaningful way. This study is not based on a textbook or workbook, so there is not one to purchase. It is the result of questions I have asked over my years of study by God’s grace. The importance of properly understanding the author’s intent : Direct quote Indirect quote Is the quote an explicit reference? Is the quote an implicit reference? Is the meaning of the quote changing in the context of the New Testament or in relation to the New Covenant? Is the quote changed in any way? Does the context in the New Testament supercede or supplant the meaning of the quote in relation to what it means in the Old Testament? How does the understanding of the verse (s) quoted in the New Testament affect the way you will read and interpret the Old Testament? What is the primary purpose of the Old Testament? What is the primary purpose of the New Testament? How does understanding the “logical priority” of the New Testament help us to have a fuller understanding of all the Bible is meant to be for the New Covenant believer? I believe Murray is correct. Something to reason through: “Remember, the truth or the principle found both in the life of the OT person (type) and in the NT fulfillment possesses a single meaning though that meaning may have a higher use as it relates to fulfillment.
